It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the rugby, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Castle End and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental. She was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course don't start the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Castle End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
