Mark and I were seated talking about the recent footy, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Bow Street and put petrol in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly happen.

Our Areas of Expertise:

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Norfolk we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Bow Street (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the most common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Bow Street

Following next are examples and examples of wrong fuel removal we've done in Bow Street:

I'm not necessarily that excited about working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the family after a wonderful lunch prepared by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he filled the wrong petrol in his BMW. He was only in Bow Street therefore I was on scene quickly. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank God! I had my concentration on other stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused some harm because of running it?" I said generally there should not be damage and that also I'd personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and another happy client could continue on his travelling without any bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Norfolk just a small bit easier to me!
