It was about 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis, ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Boxted and put petrol in her diesel Mazda hire car. She was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Suffolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Boxted (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
