It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Fen Street and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we could find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We will come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
