It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Kettleburgh and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. A job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Kettleburgh (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
