Wrong Fuel Chatteris - Chatteris Wrong Fuel Drain

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to help an old sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi in Chatteris. I had been advised she had left the filling station and broken down along a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I got to the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel since I'd only purchased it a week back after my other one, which I had used for more than thirty years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful Cambridgeshire woman!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually 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 isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business 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 recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Chatteris (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Assist Chatteris - Chatteris Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Chatteris. His Renault engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that could have been the reason why.

They are trained on the most recent cars and hold all appropriate certificates. The company is entirely V.A.T. authorised and insured so you are aware we are no cowboy or "fly-by-night" enterprise.

Some examples:

Now I'm not too keen on working Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after a tasty Sunday roast made by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy because he put the incorrect fuel in his Ford. He was located in Chatteris thus I was there quickly. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems through driving it?" I revealed there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I would personally remove the fuel at once. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and thus another contented client had the ability to continue their travelling without the need for fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this can make working on weekends in Cambridgeshire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

Petrol in Diesel Chatteris - Chatteris Petrol in Diesel

A customer who had put unleaded in his diesel BMW phoned us for assistance at the Texaco filling station in Chatteris. He thought it would be good to top up before proceeding on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which probably wasn't a good start to our getaway." It was certainly no trouble whatsoever for our technician to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday break.

Wrong Fuel Chatteris - Chatteris Fuel Rescue

A couple weeks ago a driver phoned us because his Hyundai stopped on a road in Chatteris. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and managed to drive so far as the street before needing to stop. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives not far away, got to him in approximately ten minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
