Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Upton - Upton Fuel Removal

A guy had broken down just near a road in Upton. His BMW car had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that could have been why.
