It was before seven pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the tennis, prepared for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Polstead and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel tank? It is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

A customer phoned us from his residence on a close in Polstead. He explained, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not starting up and is creating very bad noises when I flip the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
