It was close to five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Chequers Corner and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chequers Corner (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the common problems that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Chequers Corner - Chequers Corner Fuel Removal

A man had conked out just near a road in Chequers Corner. His Mercedes motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
