It was about six pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Syderstone and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases very easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Syderstone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the typical troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Syderstone - Syderstone Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great evening fishing during my holiday and felt satisfied the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Syderstone. They stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and the car was roughly an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her husband for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and thought about what my missus would say to me if I made the same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
