We're merely a phone call away.

It was after 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there talking about the rugby results, ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Floods Ferry and filled petrol in a diesel Honda rental car in error. The poor lady was quite affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Floods Ferry (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to fix the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Floods Ferry - Floods Ferry Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a man phoned us just after his Peugeot stopped along a street in Floods Ferry. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and was only able to get as far as the road before needing to halt. It was really in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays not far away, was with him in less than 10 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
