This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly never start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Carlton Colville (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded 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 fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Carlton Colville - Carlton Colville Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a wonderful day golfing on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a new family away in Carlton Colville. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens continuously in Suffolk and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same error... I'd never live it down!
