Wrong Fuel Doctor Kirstead Green - Kirstead Green Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling contented the following day as I was on the way to help a new couple who were on holiday in Kirstead Green. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their Kia, and the car was about half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel.

Services Our Company Offers:

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Norfolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.
