It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Winwick and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Winwick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will fix any of the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Winwick - Winwick Vehicle Misfuel

Yesterday a youngster phoned us right after his Hyundai ground to a halt on a road in Winwick. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the road before having to stop. It was still early in the morning and our technician, who lives close by, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
