Provided Services: Our Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can easily cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Longthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They will handle the normal problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Longthorpe - Longthorpe Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had broken down just near a road in Longthorpe. His Lexus engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was the problem until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
