It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there talking over the weekend's golf, ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Sawston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected position and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution made of a mix of ionized water and urea (32.5%).It is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Sawston (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sawston - Sawston Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a terrific day cycling during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I set off to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Sawston. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their Land Rover, and the car was close to an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal chastising her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on all the time in Cambridgeshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
