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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Covington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Covington, Cambridgeshire

Wrong Fuel Drain Covington - Covington Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on vacation in Covington. They had stopped after putting petrol in their Peugeot, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this goes on continuously in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he yet still had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!
