Our Areas of Competency :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away 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. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Ashbocking (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the usual troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
