It was around 9 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the football rankings, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Eriswell and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we could find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Suffolk we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run out of fuel in Eriswell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car.

Fuel Rescue Eriswell - Eriswell Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next day as I headed out to aid a new family away in Eriswell. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Mercedes, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass continuously in Suffolk and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
