Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Soham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Soham - Soham Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a driver called us just after his Fiat died in the middle of a street in Soham. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before being forced to give up. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
