We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Cromer (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Cromer - Cromer Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a great day cycling on my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set out to help a new family who were on vacation in Cromer. They had broken down after adding diesel into their Chevrolet, and they were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass constantly in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed so long and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
