It was about six pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football, waiting around for the seventh call that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Friday Street and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Friday Street (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car. They can also handle the common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Friday Street - Friday Street Wrong Fuel Drain

A person called us from his place on a road in Friday Street. He explained, "My vehicle (a MINI) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
