It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the recent football, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in The Ling and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly.

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely don't crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in The Ling (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They will handle any of the typical troubles that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist The Ling - The Ling Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful day fishing during my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a new family who were vacationing in The Ling. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their Porsche, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so silly. "How could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
