It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the recent tennis, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Downham Market and put petrol in a diesel SEAT rental. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my books!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course don't crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
