It was about five pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the recent footy rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Little Wenham and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the car into a secure space and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my books!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Suffolk we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Little Wenham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Little Wenham - Little Wenham Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a great day golfing during my off day and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to help a new couple on vacation in Little Wenham. They had conked out after adding diesel in their Porsche, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Suffolk and that it is nothing to fret about, but he all the same got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
