It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in The Hermitage and put petrol in her diesel Smart hire car. The poor lady was very affected it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. If you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in The Hermitage (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car. They can also deal with any of the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel The Hermitage - The Hermitage Wrong Fuel Assist

I enjoyed a great afternoon golfing on my day off and felt delighted the next morning as I headed out to help a new family holidaying in The Hermitage. They conked out after filling petrol into their Suzuki, and were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem goes on all the time in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
