It was just after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Orford and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Suffolk we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Orford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the typical troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Orford - Orford Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a great evening golfing during my off day and was feeling cheerful the next day as I set off to aid a young family who were holidaying in Orford. They conked out after putting diesel in their Land Rover, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on constantly in Suffolk and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
