It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Chalkhill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my books!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, causing serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the standard troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
