It was about ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Fengate and put petrol in a diesel Ford hire car. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

A person called us from Fengate to state that he had mistakenly piped the wrong fuel in his diesel Porsche. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It took our technician around fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He thoroughly purged the fuel system and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle.
