It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting talking about the sports results, prepared for the 6th call to arrive. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in St Just-in-Penwith and put petrol in a diesel BMW rental. The poor thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the car into a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less stressed. Another job in Cornwall well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cornwall we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Cornwall to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in St Just-in-Penwith (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will take care of any of the normal problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel St Just-in-Penwith - St Just-in-Penwith Fuel Rescue

A couple weeks ago a motorist called us soon after his Nissan stopped working in the middle of a road in St Just-in-Penwith. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel motor and got so far as the road before needing to halt. It was actually early in the day and our technical engineer, who resides close by, reached him in approximately ten minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 1 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
