Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

We will get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

Fuel Drain Washingley - Washingley Fuel Removal

I'd had a perfect evening fishing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next morning as I set out to aid a young couple on holiday in Washingley. They broken down after inserting petrol into their Skoda, and were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing to stress about, but he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky chap. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my wife would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
