Our Fields of Specialties:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in St Ives (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They will deal with the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
