AdBlue Contamination

All over Cambridgeshire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely take care not to start the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Bassingbourn (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bassingbourn - Bassingbourn Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a gentleman telephoned us when his Vauxhall stopped in the middle of a street in Bassingbourn. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in his diesel car and was only able to get to the road before being forced to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who stays nearby, got to him in approximately 10 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
