It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the sports results, prepared for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Mundham and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my books!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Norfolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Mundham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the most common troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Mundham - Mundham Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from Mundham to say he had foolishly pumped unleaded into his diesel SEAT. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It only took the technician around fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He completely cleaned the fuel system and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to have the task properly completed.
