It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting talking about the footy results, prepared for the next telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Fakenham Magna and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. The poor lady was very affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Suffolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Fakenham Magna (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the typical issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
