It was just before 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the tennis, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Stonea and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we could get to the customer swiftly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Stonea (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the most common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Stonea - Stonea Wrong Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his residence on a road in Stonea. He said, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not starting up and is creating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
