It was around eight pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking over the football, ready for the sixth call to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Cattawade and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Suffolk we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Suffolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Cattawade (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will handle the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cattawade - Cattawade Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Cattawade. They stopped after filling petrol in their Nissan, and they were around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this occurs continuously in Suffolk and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
