It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the golf, ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in High Cross and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki lease car. The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. One more job in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered 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 container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in High Cross (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
