It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in St Ives and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental in error. The poor lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in St Ives (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the normal issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue St Ives - St Ives Wrong Fuel

A guy had conked out just off a street in St Ives. His Lexus car had ceased working and he'd no idea what was the problem until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
