It was around five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking about the tennis, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Long Meadow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and less anxious. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Long Meadow (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
