It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated there going over the recent golf, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Shipdham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, because it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to reach her swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and a lot less anxious.

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not understanding how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Shipdham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your automobile. They can also fix any of the most common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
