It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Brook End and put petrol in a diesel Lexus rental. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. A job in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Brook End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will handle any of the most common issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Brook End - Brook End Vehicle Misfuel

A person called us from Brook End saying he had stupidly piped petrol in to his diesel Volvo. "I can't believe it! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He meticulously flushed the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly completed.
