It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing going over the weekend's sports, waiting for the next job that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Moor End and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Moor End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to handle the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
