Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Suffolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wickham Skeith (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They will fix any of the common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Wickham Skeith - Wickham Skeith Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a fantastic day hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next day as I set off to aid a new family who were vacationing in Wickham Skeith. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their MINI, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs quite frequently in Suffolk and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
