A man conked out on a street in Ixworth needed a fuel drain about a few weeks ago. His Vauxhall was broken down on the road after he had misfueled. He was relaxed when he called us but a bit concerned to move his car out of the road because he was generating some congestion. We were on scene inside fifteen minutes since our drainer was in nearby Ixworth and had concluded a fuel drain. He said, "I do not believe I put petrol in my diesel car and stopped here! My car was so spluttery I simply needed to pull over and after that it conked."

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Suffolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ixworth (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to fix the most common issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Ixworth - Ixworth Fuel Removal

I had a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a new family who were on vacation in Ixworth. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled while I listened to the woman berating her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass constantly in Suffolk and that it's nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and pondered on what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
