It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Ferry Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution made out of a blend of deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Ferry Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the standard issues that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ferry Hill - Ferry Hill Fuel Removal

A person contacted us from his residence on a close in Ferry Hill. He explained, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not starting up and is creating awful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
