It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis, prepared for the next job for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Exning and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Suffolk we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Suffolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Exning (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Exning - Exning Wrong Fuel

A gentleman rang us from his residence on a road in Exning. He said, "My car (a Fiat) is not starting and is making terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
