It was before five pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent sports, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Thistley Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Suffolk we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank at the rear of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Thistley Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car. They are also able to deal with the most common issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
