It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Kneesworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you may have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution made of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue is certainly disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Kneesworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the most common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
