It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the recent tennis results, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Coldhams Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Coldhams Common (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also fix any of the standard troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Coldhams Common - Coldhams Common Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on holiday in Coldhams Common. They'd pulled over after adding diesel in their Nissan, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same had an earful by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and wondered what my missus would do to me if I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
