It was after eight pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Redgrave and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly.

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Suffolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Redgrave - Redgrave Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Redgrave. His Audi motor had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
