It was close to eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were seated there commenting on the golf, waiting for the 8th job of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Girton and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot hire car. The poor thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Girton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also take care of the typical issues which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Girton - Girton Wrong Fuel Drain

A person contacted us from his house on a street in Girton. He explained, "My vehicle (a Mercedes) is not starting and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
