It was before eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Westley Waterless and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental. The poor lady was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And of course do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
