We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course never crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Tharston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They can also fix the typical troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A person rang us from his place on a close in Tharston. He explained, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not starting up and is creating very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
