It was close to 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Widgham Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations quite simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Widgham Green (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also take care of any of the standard issues which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A man had conked out off a road in Widgham Green. His Jaguar motor had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
