It was just before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were resting there talking over the recent golf results, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Runham and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental car. She was very affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Runham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
