It was about seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated talking about the rugby results, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Kneesworth and put petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
