It was after 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing commenting on the sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Thorpe End and filled petrol in her diesel MINI rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Thorpe End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the normal troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
