It was after six pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were resting discussing the sports results, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Newton St Faith and put petrol in her diesel Citroen hire car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Newton St Faith (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the typical troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
