Petrol in your diesel car in Kimberley? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you going once more with our expert fuel removal service.

It was after five pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the golf, prepared for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Kimberley and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental in error. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Kimberley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They will fix the usual problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
