It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! James and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Dunkirk and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another job in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Dunkirk (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Dunkirk - Dunkirk Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man phoned us from Dunkirk to say he had mistakenly pumped unleaded in his diesel MINI. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer about 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He meticulously cleaned the fuel system and then put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the job properly done.
