Petrol in Diesel Thorpe Market - Thorpe Market Fuel Rescue

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set out to help a new couple holidaying in Thorpe Market. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their MINI, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I heard to the gal berating her spouse for being so foolish. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass constantly in Norfolk and that it's truly absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Norfolk we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Recent Fuel Drains in Thorpe Market

Stories from our Thorpe Market employees:

A youngster who had only recently passed his test had misfueled his Hyundai by having unleaded in his diesel vehicle at the service station close to Thorpe Market. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have put fuel in my car since I got it and I have no idea of how to handle it." He was also afraid as his step father had only just paid for the car. He came across us on the net and so called it right away, afraid about what he needed to do. Our individual on the telephones informed him that we would be on scene in 45 minutes and to not do anything to the vehicle while waiting. We finished the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how impressed he was it was handled so swiftly and without problem whatsoever.

A customer from Thorpe Market with a full car of little ones in her diesel Peugeot had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She contacted us crying and very upset as she had never wrong fuelled previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the children on board."
