It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Dalham and put petrol in a diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and much less stressed. A job in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Suffolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Dalham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the common issues which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A while back a youngster contacted us soon after his Nissan stopped in the middle of a street in Dalham.

We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your fast response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I really appreciate it."
