It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Alconbury Weston and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus hire car. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.
