It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the recent football, ready for the next call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Stretham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Peugeot in Stretham. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a rural lane on route to visit her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only just acquired it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I had had for more than thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Cambridgeshire lady!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Cambridgeshire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite easily.
Be aware though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel

Recent Fuel Drains in Stretham
Various stories:
We did a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a beautiful property in Stretham a few weeks ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to virtually get home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and purge on the Volkswagen .
Fuel Drain Stretham - Stretham Fuel Rescue
This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and nobody was about. It was quite quiet thus far, and Brian and I were loafing looking at a couple of old articles. This was a rare tranquil moment in Cambridgeshire. It was so tranquil that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The customer said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my Honda". We asked him to tell us where he was and we set off, arriving in Stretham 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were coming back home we spotted two women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.
