It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th job that day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Scottow and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus rental. The unfortunate lady was very affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at.

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Scottow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
