We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding how to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Norfolk to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in The Grange (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will take care of the common problems that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel The Grange - The Grange Petrol in Diesel

The other day a young man phoned us when his Vauxhall cut out along a road in The Grange. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and was only able to drive so far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was still early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, was with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 6 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
