It was about six pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting discussing the football rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Thelveton and put petrol in a diesel Nissan rental. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. A job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Norfolk we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Thelveton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
