It was before five pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting going over the recent footy, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bury and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so worried. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances quite easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial 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 remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bury (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They can also take care of the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bury - Bury Wrong Fuel

A man had stopped near a street in Bury. His Volkswagen engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
