Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly easily.

You should know that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Suffolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Clare (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Clare - Clare Vehicle Misfuel

A customer contacted us from his home on a close in Clare. He explained, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not starting up and is making awful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
