It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football results, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Ampton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Fuel Removal Ampton - Ampton Petrol in Diesel

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen in Ampton. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up along a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only just purchased it a week back because my other car, which I had used for about twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Suffolk lady!

It matters not whether your vehicle is mint condition or antique, we have got the ability, know-how AND equipment to make certain that your vehicle is drained and purged of all the contaminated fuel immediately, so you have the ability to proceed with your journey with nominal trouble.

And so, in the event that you have filled your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or put petrol in your diesel vehicle wherever in Suffolk, contact us right now. Our skilled mechanics are available for you.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ampton - Ampton Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just off a road in Ampton. His Porsche car had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason.

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Suffolk we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Suffolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ampton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also fix any of the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Ampton

Testimonies from our Ampton staff:

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a spectacular house in Ampton a few weeks ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to nearly get home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and did a full fuel drain and cleanse on the Volkswagen to everyone's satisfaction.

Fuel Removal Ampton - Ampton Petrol in Diesel

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It had been rather dead so far, and me and Ray were sitting about reading through some old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Suffolk. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the moment my mobile rang I leaped! The voice on the phone told me: "I just completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel Volvo by mistake". I instructed him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, ending up in Ampton under half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were heading back to base we spotted two young women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their elation.
