It was after 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Drurylane and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we could find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Drurylane (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill 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 possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the normal troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Drurylane - Drurylane Vehicle Misfuel

A couple of days ago a motorist phoned us just after his Suzuki stopped along a street in Drurylane. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and was only able to get so far as the road before needing to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays not far away, was with him in less than 10 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
