It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there talking about the tennis results, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Mettingham and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you may have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution made out of a mixture of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.It is definitely damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.
