It was around five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and me were resting commenting on the recent golf results, prepared for the next job to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Cantley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cantley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They can also handle the normal troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
