It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Horringer and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and less anxious. A fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Suffolk we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Horringer (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will handle the normal problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
