It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting going over the football, ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Great Finborough and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in.

Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Suffolk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Great Finborough (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your automobile. They will take care of any of the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Great Finborough - Great Finborough Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a young man called us just after his Volkswagen cut out in the middle of a street in Great Finborough.

It was actually in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
