It was about 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated there going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Bungay and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bungay (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the normal issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Bungay - Bungay Fuel Removal

A customer had stopped just near a road in Bungay. His Mazda engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was faulty until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
