Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Arbury (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Arbury - Arbury Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down just near a street in Arbury. His Audi engine had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was awry until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
