It was close to five pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there discussing the sports rankings, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Toft Monks and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda rental car by mistake. She was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Toft Monks (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also handle the usual troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
