It was after 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in The Grange and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental in error. She was fairly distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in The Grange (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal The Grange - The Grange Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a wonderful day fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were on vacation in The Grange. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their Nissan, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal berating her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
