It was around five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking over the recent football, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Saxtead Little Green and put petrol in her diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Suffolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
