It was before ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the tennis results, prepared for the 6th job that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Saltash and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. Yet another job in Cornwall done well in my opinion!

Petrol in Diesel Saltash - Saltash Fuel Drain
Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel Jaguar in Saltash. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a rural lane along the way to see her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel as I'd only purchased it a short while ago after my other car, which I had owned for about twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Cornwall lady!

Fuel Rescue Saltash - Saltash Fuel Drain
I had a perfect afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I set out to aid a new family who were holidaying in Saltash. They'd broken down after filling diesel into their Hyundai, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place everyday in Cornwall and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!

Services We Provide:
These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Cornwall we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.
Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And of course never start the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.
You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Cornwall to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.
