It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the tennis, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Stow Longa and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. One more job in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Cambridgeshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Stow Longa (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the normal problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
