It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the golf, ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Bury St Edmunds and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia hire car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less worried. One more job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical competence and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Bury St Edmunds (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also handle the normal problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A customer had conked out just near a road in Bury St Edmunds. His Suzuki car had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
