It was around six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were relaxing discussing the golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Thurston End and put petrol in a diesel BMW lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less worried. A fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Suffolk we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather easily.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Thurston End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will take care of the usual problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
