It was about five pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting talking about the sports results, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Longthorpe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Longthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Longthorpe - Longthorpe Wrong Fuel Doctor

I enjoyed a fantastic day golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the next morning as I set off to aid a young family holidaying in Longthorpe. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their Skoda, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed as I listened to the woman telling off her man for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in Cambridgeshire and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, but he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
