It was after ten pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in St Austell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. A job in Cornwall done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cornwall we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Cornwall to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.
