It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in St Cross South Elmham and put petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in St Cross South Elmham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
