We're simply a telephone call away.

It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the next call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Bottisham and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental. The poor lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. A job in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bottisham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the normal problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bottisham - Bottisham Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a youngster contacted us soon after his Volkswagen died in the middle of a street in Bottisham. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel car and got so far as the road before needing to pull over. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides not far away, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, especially at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
