It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking about the tennis results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hopton and put petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more job in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made from a mixture of ionized water and urea.Adblue tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hopton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will handle the most common issues which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hopton - Hopton Fuel Removal

I had a perfect day hiking during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I was on the way to assist a new couple on holiday in Hopton. They'd broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their BMW, and the car was around half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs frequently in Suffolk and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
