Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cambridgeshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of fuel in Grantchester (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
