AdBlue Contamination

All over Norfolk we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thurton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car. They can also fix the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Thurton - Thurton Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Thurton. They'd conked out after adding diesel into their Lexus, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would never live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Thurton

Typical incorrect fuel drain stories in Thurton:

We not too long ago got a call from a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his Dacia in Thurton. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how rapid you guys were in sending a technician out to aid me when I filled my diesel car with petrol. I'm very grateful". Obviously we were on-scene rapidly and purged the engine after draining all the petrol from the diesel tank. The client was over the moon by the time we were done and he was able to drive away completely happy.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thurton - Thurton Wrong Fuel

A lady living in Thurton phoned us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel MG and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to just top up the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The vehicle was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired within an hour while she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you sorted my vehicle."

Wrong Fuel in Car Thurton - Thurton Fuel Rescue

A gentleman called us from Thurton saying he stupidly piped unleaded in his diesel Volvo. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took our specialist approximately fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He carefully cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the task professionally completed.
