It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the rugby, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Ferry Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cambridgeshire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ferry Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
