It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, ready for the 8th job to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Bungay and put petrol in her diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from the office, we could get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can certainly produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Bungay (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bungay - Bungay Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman called us from Bungay saying he had mistakenly pumped the wrong fuel into his diesel Nissan. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the work professionally done.
