Services We Deliver:

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cornwall we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties 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. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in St Just-in-Penwith (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
