It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Cambridge and filled petrol in a diesel Smart lease car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Yorkshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in West Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Cambridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cambridge - Cambridge Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from his home on a street in Cambridge. He explained, "My vehicle (a Smart) is not running and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
