It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking about the football rankings, prepared for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in St James and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in St James (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the typical problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal St James - St James Wrong Fuel Drain

Last week a man contacted us when his Volkswagen ground to a halt in the middle of a street in St James. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before needing to pull up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays nearby, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
