A gentleman broken down on a road in St Michael South Elmham required a fuel drain about a month back. His Audi was stuck on the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel.

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Suffolk we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in St Michael South Elmham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel St Michael South Elmham - St Michael South Elmham Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family vacationing in St Michael South Elmham. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their Vauxhall, and they were close to half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her partner for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem takes place quite frequently in Suffolk and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
