It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Town End and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and less concerned. One more job in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

Offered Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Town End (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to deal with the usual troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Town End - Town End Fuel Removal

A guy had stopped near a street in Town End. His Hyundai motor had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
