Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cambridgeshire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in West Wickham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to fix the normal issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel West Wickham - West Wickham Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I set off to assist a new family away in West Wickham. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Porsche, and were around an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "How could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens continuously in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, however he yet still had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good bye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

It doesn't matter whether it is wrong fuel or contaminated fuel we are able to help to sort it out. Ourexperts are waiting to answer any enquiries and get a technician on-scene with you very quickly to fix your car. Call now and check out exactly how we will help you:
