This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Plumstead (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Plumstead - Plumstead Petrol in Diesel

A man rang us from his place on a road in Plumstead. He pronounced, "My car (a Citroen) is not starting and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.

We do well over 6 thousand fuel drains on an annual basis in the United Kingdom (sure, there are that many individuals who also make the mistake - you are not the only person).

Recent Fuel Drains in Plumstead

Common fuel drain stories in Plumstead:

I'm not necessarily overly keen on running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed home after a superb Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was off to assist a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his SEAT. He was somewhere in Plumstead and so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and did not grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any harm through driving it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also that I would personally drain the fuel at once for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so one more delighted customer could continue on their trip without the need for difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on weekends in Norfolk a little better for me!

Fuel Rescue Plumstead - Plumstead Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer from Plumstead with her kids in her diesel Hyundai had put £30 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us crying and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the kids in the back."

Fuel Removal Plumstead - Plumstead Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a great evening hiking during my off day and felt satisfied the following working day as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Plumstead. They'd conked out after adding diesel in their Suzuki, and were close to an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation takes place all the time in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and wondered what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
