Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is going to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
