It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were resting going over the tennis, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Eaton and put petrol in her diesel Nissan hire car. She was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at her without delay.

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Norfolk we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
