It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the recent football results, ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Hilborough and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hilborough (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They will be able to deal with the typical troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Hilborough - Hilborough Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a great day golfing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the following day as I set out to help a young couple on vacation in Hilborough. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Toyota, and they were around an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her man for being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on constantly in Norfolk and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
