Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Kenton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

It was actually in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, was with him in about 20 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
