Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Suffolk we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Suffolk for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Saxmundham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle.

Vehicle Misfuel Saxmundham - Saxmundham Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt contented the following working day as I set off to aid a young couple on holiday in Saxmundham. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Renault, and were around half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal telling off her hubby for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation goes on continuously in Suffolk and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
