It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the recent tennis, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Cambridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Cambridge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Cambridge - Cambridge Fuel Rescue

A couple of days ago a customer called us when his Mazda ground to a halt in the middle of a road in Cambridge. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel motor and drove to the road before having to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who resides nearby, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
