It was just after seven pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated there talking about the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Hitcham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

Our service plan is fully mobile and we can come out regardless of wherever you are and have the car drained, cleaned and running just as before right away - and for an acceptable price!

Our Areas of Experience :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Suffolk we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Hitcham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They can also handle any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hitcham - Hitcham Wrong Fuel in Car

A person called us from Hitcham to state that he had stupidly pumped petrol into his diesel Mazda. "What a nightmare! I can't believe I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He totally flushed the fuel system and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the job properly completed.
