Wrong Fuel in Car Ipswich - Ipswich Vehicle Misfuel

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover in Ipswich. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a rural road on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel since I had just got it a couple of days back because my previous car, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Suffolk lady!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Suffolk we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely don't crank the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Ipswich (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the most common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Several examples:

I'm not overly inclined to working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the family filled with a magnificent lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man who filled the incorrect petrol in his Smart. He was situated in Ipswich thus I was with him soon. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other stuff and did not realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused any problems by starting it?" I said generally there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another satisfied motorist had the ability to carry on with his travelling with no fuss. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make operating on weekends in Suffolk just that tiny bit easier for me personally!

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and Ray and I were sitting around looking through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon restful time in Suffolk. It was indeed so peaceful that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The person explained: "I only just finished my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a Jaguar". I asked him to let us know just where he was and we set off, reaching him in Ipswich half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we found two ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.

Vehicle Misfuel Ipswich - Ipswich Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had broken down off a road in Ipswich. His Honda motor had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
