It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking about the weekend's football, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Felixstowe and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and less stressed. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Felixstowe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to deal with the most common issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
