It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the sports results, ready for the 6th job to come in. In due time we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Huntingdon and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. One more job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Huntingdon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the most common problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Huntingdon - Huntingdon Vehicle Misfuel

A customer called us from his house on a close in Huntingdon. He said, "My car (a Volvo) is not starting and is making awful noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
