It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking about the tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Carlton and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The poor thing was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we could reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

Services We Give:

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Carlton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the most common issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
