It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining!

Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Little Ryburgh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could find the lady swiftly.

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Norfolk we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Little Ryburgh (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home.
