It was before 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Godmanchester and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Godmanchester (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Godmanchester - Godmanchester Fuel Rescue

Last friday a motorist telephoned us after his Land Rover ground to a halt in the middle of a road in Godmanchester. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before needing to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, arrived with him in about 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
