It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting going over the sports results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Cambridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly don't start the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cambridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to handle the most common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cambridge - Cambridge Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had stopped just off a street in Cambridge. His Volkswagen engine had ceased operating and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been why.
