Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic 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.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car St Ives

Now I'm not that excited about running on weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd just left home after eating a lovely dinner prepared by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a man after he put the wrong fuel in his red Skoda Citigo. He was only in St Ives so I was there rapidly. As I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on something else and failed to realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some harm because of running it?" I said generally there shouldn't be damage and also that I would remove the wrong fuel right away. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist could carry on with his traveling without fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Cambridgeshire just a little bit easier in my opinion!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
