It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Thorney Toll and put petrol in a diesel Toyota rental by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Offered Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Thorney Toll (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the normal problems which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
