Our Areas of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it.

We can get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mettingham - Mettingham Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out just near a street in Mettingham. His Mitsubishi motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that must have been why.
