Fuel Drain Lakenham - Lakenham Wrong Fuel Assist

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel BMW in Lakenham. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up on a country road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd just bought it a few days back after my former car, which I had owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Norfolk woman!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations quite simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Lakenham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

I'm not ever that excited about working Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids after a fantastic roast made by the missus, and I was en route to assist a guy after he put the wrong petrol in his Fiat. He was only in Lakenham so I was with him almost immediately. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other things and did not perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on any problems as a result of running it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd remove the wrong fuel right away. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and filled it with some suitable fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist had the ability to carry on with their trip without any subsequent hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that tends to make working on weekends in Norfolk a tiny bit better for me personally!

Vehicle Misfuel Lakenham - Lakenham Petrol in Diesel

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It was rather quiet thus far, and John and I were sitting browsing some old papers. It was a rare quiet hour in Norfolk. It was in fact so quiet that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The person on the other end said: "I only just ended my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my BMW by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly he was located and we left, reaching him in Lakenham less than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were returning to the office we saw two ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out and helped them change it, to their elation.
