It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and me were seated talking over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the next call that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Misery Corner and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda hire car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can certainly produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Misery Corner (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Misery Corner - Misery Corner Fuel Rescue

A man phoned us from his house on a road in Misery Corner. He explained, "My vehicle (a Jaguar) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however believed he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
