It was after 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the seventh call to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Bushy Common and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda rental in error. The poor lady was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and less stressed. A job in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as 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 incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Bushy Common (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the standard issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bushy Common - Bushy Common Petrol in Diesel

A man had conked out off a street in Bushy Common. His Kia car had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
