If you've mistakenly put the wrong fuel in your car and now have to have the wrong fuel removed you are likely scanning the web looking for a rapid, reliable, expert and economical fuel drain company in Capel St Andrew or Suffolk. We are the company suitable for you!

It was around five pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Capel St Andrew and put petrol in a diesel Porsche rental by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, because it was only a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and less worried. One more fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Suffolk we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Capel St Andrew (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also take care of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Capel St Andrew - Capel St Andrew Vehicle Misfuel

Yesterday a young man phoned us just after his Mazda stopped in the middle of a street in Capel St Andrew. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and had managed to get as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who resides locally, reached him in about 15 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 3 a.m., I really appreciate it."
