It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were seated commenting on the weekend's rugby results, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Bury St Edmunds and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could get to her fairly quickly.

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Suffolk we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Bury St Edmunds (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
