Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.
