Before long we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Kneesworth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations pretty easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find 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. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Kneesworth - Kneesworth Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful day golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next day as I set out to help a young family on vacation in Kneesworth. They stopped after adding diesel in their Lexus, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I heard to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good bye and thought about what my wife would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!
