It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Woodhurst and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cambridgeshire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Woodhurst (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Woodhurst - Woodhurst Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a perfect day hiking during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I was en route to help a young family who were on holiday in Woodhurst. They conked out after filling diesel into their Nissan, and were close to an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it is nothing to worry about, however he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove away I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
