It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Clare and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Suffolk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Clare (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also handle the standard troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
