It was about six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Bassingbourn and put petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Bassingbourn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
