Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Recent Fuel Drains in Coppingford

Some of the usual facts we come across from many of our engineers in Coppingford:

I'm not ever very inclined to running Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a superb lunch prepared for us by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had filled the wrong petrol in his Mazda. He was stationed in Coppingford hence it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and did not perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any kind of problems simply by driving it?" I revealed that there probably should not be any problems and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then another happy client was able to continue on their trip without the need for fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make carrying out work on weekends in Cambridgeshire a little less painful for me personally!

Petrol in Diesel Coppingford - Coppingford Wrong Fuel

A driver from Coppingford with her little ones in her diesel Mazda had put £30 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She contacted us crying and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that all should be alright and that she would be back up and running soon. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children on board."
