It was just before seven pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking about the sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Allwood Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we could get to her without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Suffolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Allwood Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
