It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting discussing the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in St Austell and filled petrol in a diesel MG hire car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could get to her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. Another job in Cornwall done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Cornwall we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this situation don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Cornwall to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in St Austell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They can also take care of the common issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue St Austell - St Austell Petrol in Diesel

A guy had stopped near a street in St Austell. His Nissan engine had ceased running and he'd no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got zero sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
