It was around five pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the recent footy results, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Hilton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car by mistake. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hilton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to fix the most common issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A customer rang us from his place on a street in Hilton. He explained, "My vehicle (a MINI) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car however reckoned he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
