It was before eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing going over the footy results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in East Wretham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel yellow Porsche 911 rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less stressed. One more job in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.
Remember though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.
Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.
