It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the recent golf results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Laxfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The poor lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Suffolk we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Suffolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Laxfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Laxfield - Laxfield Wrong Fuel

The other day a driver phoned us after his Vauxhall ground to a halt along a road in Laxfield. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove to the street before needing to pull over. It was in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, was with him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
