We're only a telephone call away.

It was just after ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Clare and put petrol in her diesel Skoda rental by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my mind!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Suffolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Clare (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Clare - Clare Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a youngster called us soon after his Honda ground to a halt on a street in Clare. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before having to stop. It was actually early in the day and our engineer, who resides close by, reached him in approximately 15 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
