It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting going over the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Iken and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Iken (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Iken - Iken Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had stopped just off a street in Iken. His Lexus car had stopped working and he had no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
