It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated there commenting on the recent football, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Stretham and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen.

This is what exactly we do best.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Cambridgeshire we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.
Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is going to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases quite easily.
Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.
Run Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in Stretham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They can also deal with the common issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
Fuel Drain Stretham - Stretham Fuel Rescue
I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Stretham. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Mercedes, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I heard to the woman chastising her spouse for being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, but he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved good-bye and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the same blunder... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Stretham
Stories from our Stretham employees:
A youngster who had only recently passed his driving test had wrong fuelled his Suzuki by getting petrol in his diesel car at the petrol station near Stretham. He said, "This is the second occasion I have filled up my vehicle from the time when I bought it and I do not know how to handle it." He was anxious because his step father had just recently bought him the car. He came across us on the web and so called it right away, afraid about what he should do. Our guy on the telephones informed him that we could be on scene inside 45 minutes and to not touch his vehicle while waiting. We carried out the fuel drain on his car and he said how astonished he was that it was addressed so speedily and with not much complication .
Fuel Rescue Stretham - Stretham Wrong Fuel
A young lady from Stretham with a full car of children in her diesel Land Rover had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything should be fine and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the youngsters on board."
