Fuel Rescue Elsworth - Elsworth Wrong Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Sunday and we were on my way to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel Skoda in Elsworth. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it several days back because my other one, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Cambridgeshire lady!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

They can also take care of any of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
