It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Warham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental. She was very irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Norfolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

Petrol in Diesel Warham - Warham Fuel Drain

A while back a young man phoned us right after his Kia died along a street in Warham. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before having to give up. It was still early in the day and our engineer, who resides close by, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 6 a.m., I am grateful for it."
