It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the sports results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Saxmundham and put petrol in her diesel Honda lease car. She was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Suffolk well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

In Suffolk we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Suffolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Saxmundham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They will handle any of the most common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Saxmundham - Saxmundham Vehicle Misfuel

A man had broken down near a road in Saxmundham. His Toyota car had ceased working and he had no clue what was wrong until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that must have been why.
