It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated going over the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Southwood and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. She was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was just a short distance from the office, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you get in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.
