This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And of course don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stuston (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will handle any of the usual troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
