It was after ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were seated discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Chapel Head and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance from us, we were able to get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very simply.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Chapel Head (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Chapel Head - Chapel Head Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer called us from his residence on a street in Chapel Head. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a SEAT) is not starting up and is making terrible noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said he would be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
