It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated there discussing the recent football rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Pinford End and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Suffolk we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Pinford End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to fix the common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
