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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very easily.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Newnham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the common troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Newnham - Newnham Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a perfect evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I was en route to help a young couple on vacation in Newnham. They conked out after putting petrol into their Peugeot, and they were close to half an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl berating her husband for being so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
