It was about 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Tatterford and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
