It was close to 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in St Mawes and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. A job in Cornwall done well in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car St Mawes - St Mawes Petrol in Diesel
A woman had broken down on a street, St Mawes having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was sobbing and really distressed as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we tried to calm her as well as we could, telling her that it would be alright. When we reached her she was not troubled any more and was curious in watching our technician do the fuel drain on her Dacia. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only just paid for it so it truly worried me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm pleased that it was so very easily repairable."

Services We Offer:
Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.
AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Cornwall we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.
So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases very quickly.
You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Have a fuel container lying at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Cornwall for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.
Run Out of Fuel Assistance
Out of fuel in St Mawes (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the standard problems that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal St Mawes - St Mawes Fuel Rescue
A young lady living in St Mawes called us after she tried to get her wrong fuelled car to the office. She had filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall and, like plenty before her, assumed that she could simply top up her tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was chugging and then it died when she got to the entrance of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed inside one hour whilst she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you sorted my vehicle."
