It was after seven pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were seated going over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Boyton End and filled petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we could find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Suffolk to deal with draining 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Boyton End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will take care of any of the normal issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
