Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Suffolk for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Petrol in Diesel Grundisburgh - Grundisburgh Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling during my off day and felt satisfied the following day as I was en route to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Grundisburgh. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their MINI, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife berating her husband for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this takes place continuously in Suffolk and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, however he still got an earful by his missus. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I would never ever live it down!
