It was close to ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the sports rankings, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Lavenham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers being unsure of how to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Lavenham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the common issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lavenham - Lavenham Vehicle Misfuel

Yesterday a man called us when his Ford stopped working on a street in Lavenham. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and had managed to drive so far as the street before being forced to stop. It was still early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back into the car. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
