It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were resting discussing the recent sports, waiting around for the next call to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Worstead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford lease car. She was very irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and less stressed. One more job in Norfolk done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Norfolk we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely do not crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Worstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the typical troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
