It was just after six pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the recent football rankings, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Walpole Marsh and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. The unfortunate thing was very troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Norfolk we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Walpole Marsh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up the car. They will handle the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A motorist had stopped off a road in Walpole Marsh. His SEAT engine had ceased operating and he had no clue what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
