Our Areas of Competence :
Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.
AdBlue Contamination
In Cambridgeshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.
Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather expediently.
Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.
Run Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Floods Ferry (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Floods Ferry - Floods Ferry Wrong Fuel in Car
A woman from Floods Ferry with a full car of kids in her diesel Ford had put £42 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."
