It was before 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the tennis rankings, ready for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Sheringwood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental car. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

Wrong Fuel Assist Sheringwood - Sheringwood Fuel Removal

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen in Sheringwood. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural lane on route to see her family. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I had only purchased it a couple of days ago because my former one, which I'd had for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Norfolk woman!

Petrol in Diesel Sheringwood - Sheringwood Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling contented the following morning as I set off to help a new family who were vacationing in Sheringwood. They pulled over after putting diesel in their MG, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife berating her husband for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in Norfolk and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

We are able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Sheringwood - Sheringwood Wrong Fuel

A woman driving in Sheringwood phoned us after she managed to get her wrong fuelled car to work. She had put petrol in her diesel MINI and, like plenty before her, believed that she could basically fill her car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in one hour while she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you fixed my car."
