Wrong Fuel in Car Thorington - Thorington Wrong Fuel Drain

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were off to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel Honda in Thorington. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a rural road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel since I'd just acquired it a week back after my former car, which I used for more than twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Suffolk woman!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Suffolk we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thorington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will handle any of the standard troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

He stated that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been why.

Testimonies from our own Thorington staff:

Now I'm not so keen on carrying out work Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just left the family after a fantastic roast prepared by the missus, and I was off to deal with a fellow after he had put the wrong petrol in his Peugeot. He was situated in Thorington and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other things and failed to realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any harm through driving it?" I determined there probably should not be problems and also I'd personally remove the wrong fuel at once. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then one more contented motorist could carry on with his journey without the need for difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Suffolk just a small bit better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Thorington - Thorington Wrong Fuel Drain

A young lady living in Thorington called us as soon as she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put petrol in her diesel Citroen and, like countless before her, believed that she could just fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would be okay. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted within an hour whilst she was working. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you sorted my car."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thorington - Thorington Fuel Drain

A week ago a gentleman contacted us when his Honda ground to a halt along a street in Thorington. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before needing to stop. It was in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who stays nearby, got to him in about 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
