It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated going over the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Bartlow and filled petrol in her diesel Renault rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

Services We Give:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Bartlow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your vehicle. They can also take care of the standard problems that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
