It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Bassingbourn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less worried.

Our Areas of Competence :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Bassingbourn (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
