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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Suffolk we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not understanding the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Wickhambrook - Wickhambrook Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a terrific evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next day as I headed out to help a young family who were holidaying in Wickhambrook. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their Peugeot, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled as I heard to the woman berating her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place continuously in Suffolk and that it's in reality nothing to fret about, but he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!
