It was about 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the recent footy results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Oxwick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Oxwick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the typical troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Oxwick - Oxwick Petrol in Diesel

A person contacted us from his place on a street in Oxwick. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not running and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
