It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Lode and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall lease car. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Cambridgeshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.
