It was just before six pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Thetford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Norfolk well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel
All over Norfolk we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.
So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations rather easily.
Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Have a fuel container at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thetford - Thetford Fuel Drain
A young lady from Thetford with a full car of little ones in her diesel Fiat had put £42 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us crying and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything would be okay and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones on board."
