It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby results, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Pakenham and put petrol in a diesel MINI rental car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Suffolk we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.
So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite simply.
Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Yesterday a youngster telephoned us because his MINI died in the middle of a road in Pakenham. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel motor and got so far as the street before having to give up. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I am grateful for it."
Regardless of whether you are driving a brand-new vehicle or an old style, we have the gear and expertise to fix the problem right there. We remove the incorrect fuel, address any complications caused by the misfueling, and get you going.

Testimonies from our own Pakenham technicians:
Now I'm not that inclined to doing the job Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had just left home after a tasty roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to help a man who had filled the incorrect petrol in his Toyota. He was located in Pakenham therefore I arrived with him quickly. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any problems by driving it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and then one more content motorist could continue on his trip without the bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Suffolk that tiny bit easier to me!
Wrong Fuel in Car Pakenham - Pakenham Fuel Removal
This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and noone was about. It was fairly quiet thus far, and me and Mark were loafing looking through a few old magazines. This was an uncommon calm moment in Suffolk. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the instant my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I have just finished my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel Renault by mistake". I got him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Pakenham only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. While we were heading back to base we found two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.
Wrong Fuel Drain Pakenham - Pakenham Wrong Fuel Doctor
I had appreciated a wonderful evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I was en route to assist a young family away in Pakenham. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their Audi, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked while I heard to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Suffolk and that it is nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
