It was after 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Cuckoo Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less anxious. One more job in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Suffolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Cuckoo Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
