Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's 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 will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can easily produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Impington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the normal problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
