It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Grantchester and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and much less stressed. Another job in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Grantchester (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your automobile.

Wrong Fuel in Car Grantchester - Grantchester Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a perfect day fishing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to help a young family who were on vacation in Grantchester. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this occurs regularly in Cambridgeshire and that it's really nothing to stress about, even so he yet still had an earful. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove off I waved good-bye and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
