It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Covington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely never start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Covington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
