Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Halesworth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
