It was close to five pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting going over the golf, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Boyton End and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. She was rather affected apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Boyton End (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
