It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the recent footy results, prepared for the next job of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Caldecote and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cambridgeshire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Caldecote (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Caldecote - Caldecote Petrol in Diesel

A couple of days ago a gentleman phoned us after his Lexus cut out in the middle of a street in Caldecote. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove so far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who stays locally, reached him in less than ten minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
