It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby results, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Rendham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car in error. She was very affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Rendham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Rendham - Rendham Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a youngster called us when his Mitsubishi cut out in the middle of a street in Rendham. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel car and drove as far as the street before needing to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives not far away, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
