It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Covington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Covington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Covington - Covington Fuel Removal

A customer called us from his residence on a road in Covington. He said, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not starting and is producing very bad noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
