It was after 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the rugby results, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Wattisfield and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Suffolk we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Suffolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Wattisfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also handle the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wattisfield - Wattisfield Fuel Drain

A while back a gentleman called us after his Dacia stopped working in the middle of a street in Wattisfield. He had unintentionally put the wrong fuel in his diesel motor and drove to the street before needing to stop. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays not far away, reached him in about twenty minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
