It was after five pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Long Meadow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda hire car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in.

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel container in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

We're able to come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Long Meadow - Long Meadow Fuel Drain

I had a terrific evening hiking on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Long Meadow. They conked out after putting petrol into their Suzuki, and were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs everyday in Cambridgeshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, but he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!
