It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the golf results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Colnefields and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more job in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Colnefields (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Colnefields - Colnefields Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a great day golfing on my day off and was feeling delighted the next morning as I headed out to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Colnefields. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Skoda, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Poor guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted so long and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
