Our Areas of Competence :

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Suffolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Easton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your automobile. They will fix the typical problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Easton - Easton Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from Easton to say he had stupidly pumped petrol in to his diesel Smart. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It only took our engineer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the job professionally done.
