It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the recent rugby, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Oxlode and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected position and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Oxlode (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your automobile. They can also handle the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
