It was just after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there talking about the football results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Great Stukeley and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. One more job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Great Stukeley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also fix the most common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Great Stukeley - Great Stukeley Fuel Rescue

I'd had a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple on holiday in Great Stukeley. They stopped after inserting diesel into their Hyundai, and were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem comes to pass continuously in Cambridgeshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!
