It was before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! James and I were sitting going over the sports results, waiting around for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Langham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental car. She was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not knowing how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Langham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Langham - Langham Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a man phoned us soon after his Toyota cut out on a road in Langham. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
