Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run out of fuel in Upwood (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.

Fuel Rescue Upwood - Upwood Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a perfect evening golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young family who were away in Upwood. They broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Lexus, and were about an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this takes place constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted so long and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
