It was about eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis results, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Folksworth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel father's VW Beetle rental car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Folksworth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They are also able to fix the most common problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not understanding how to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In case you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.
