It was just after 8 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's tennis, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Kirtling and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental car. The poor thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kirtling - Kirtling Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set off to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Kirtling. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs quite frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
