It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! James and I were resting commenting on the recent tennis, prepared for the next job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Elton and put petrol in her diesel Nissan hire car. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the woman right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely do not start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Elton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of the common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
