Wrong fuel in your car in Hitcham? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you running once more with our expert fuel removal services.

It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Hitcham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hitcham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They can also handle the standard issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hitcham, Suffolk

Wrong Fuel Hitcham - Hitcham Wrong Fuel

A week ago a young man called us when his Porsche cut out on a street in Hitcham. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the street before needing to pull over. It was in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who stays locally, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I am grateful for it."
