Wrong fuel in your car in Redgrave? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this situatiuon and get you running once more with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was around six pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's golf, prepared for the seventh call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Redgrave and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda rental in error. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Another job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Suffolk we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you end up in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical competence and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Redgrave (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will fix any of the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Redgrave - Redgrave Vehicle Misfuel

Last monday a man phoned us just after his Mazda stopped working along a street in Redgrave.

It was early in the day and our technician, who lives close by, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back into the vehicle.
