It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated discussing the sports results, prepared for the 8th call to come in. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Tilbrook and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the lady swiftly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Tilbrook (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.
