It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there going over the recent tennis results, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Bury and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cambridgeshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bury - Bury Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new couple on vacation in Bury. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their Chevrolet, and the car was approximately an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing happens constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, however he still got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
