It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated talking about the recent golf rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Little Thetford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Fiat Bravo hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
