It was after 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Hanworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and less stressed. Yet another job in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Norfolk we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people being unsure of how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances quite easily.
Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel container lying in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.
Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Hanworth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will fix the normal problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel Assist Hanworth - Hanworth Petrol in Diesel
A while back a youngster called us when his MG died along a street in Hanworth. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel motor and got to the street before needing to halt. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, arrived with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Hanworth
Usual fuel drain stories in Hanworth:
I'm not necessarily that inclined to carrying out work on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just left the family following a superb lunch cooked by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a guy who filled the incorrect fuel in his MG. He was located in Hanworth and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some damage through running it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any harm and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and one more delighted client was able to continue on their journey without any bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this makes operating on Sundays in Norfolk just that little bit less painful for me personally!
