It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Melbourn and put petrol in a diesel Ford rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Melbourn (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Melbourn - Melbourn Fuel Rescue

A person called us from his residence on a road in Melbourn. He said, "My car (a Hyundai) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
