It was just after ten pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Weybread and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Suffolk we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Weybread (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Weybread - Weybread Fuel Removal

A motorist had broken down just off a street in Weybread. His Lexus motor had stopped operating and he had no clue what was faulty until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
