It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting talking about the weekend's rugby, prepared for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Woodhurst and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel Drain Woodhurst - Woodhurst Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a terrific day fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Woodhurst. They had broken down after putting petrol in their Fiat, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman berating her husband for being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing takes place everyday in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
