It was about five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting for the 8th job of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Diddington and put petrol in a diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and less stressed. Another job in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Diddington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will deal with any of the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Diddington - Diddington Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had stopped just off a road in Diddington. His MINI motor had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was wrong till he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
