Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases rather expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Fuel Drain Cottenham - Cottenham Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a great evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a new couple on holiday in Cottenham. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their SEAT, and were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal berating her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation occurs quite frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

No matter if it's petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol we can help to sort it out. Our local call operators are constantly accessible, including bank holidays, to resolve your inquiries and assist to get you on the road once again. Call us and get guidance or information.
