Wrong Fuel Salcombe - Salcombe Petrol in Diesel

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an elder lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover in Salcombe. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd just got it a few days back right after my previous one, which I used for over 30 years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Devon lady!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Devon we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Devon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Salcombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car. They can also fix any of the normal troubles which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.


Fuel Removal Salcombe - Salcombe Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman had broken down just near a street in Salcombe. His SEAT engine had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was faulty till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.


Recent Fuel Drains in Salcombe

Stories from our Salcombe mechanics:

Imagine being stuck in a vehicle filled with the improper fuel in the middle of the road. Our last customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (Lexus) in Salcombe endured precisely that kind of dilemma: "Your fuel drain guy moved my car from the road. He fixed it and had it running again in less than a half hour. Couldn't recommend you more."

Petrol in Diesel Salcombe - Salcombe Petrol in Diesel

A lady from Salcombe with a full car of children in her diesel Toyota had put £42 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything should be fine and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

Fuel Rescue Salcombe - Salcombe Fuel Rescue

A motorist had broken down just off a road in Salcombe. His Nissan car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was awry till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten no rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
