It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing talking over the recent footy results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Weston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental. The poor lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. Another job in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in to 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. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Weston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to handle the standard troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
