It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Alderford and put petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously do not start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Alderford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the typical problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Alderford - Alderford Fuel Drain

A man had broken down near a street in Alderford. His MG car had ceased running and he'd no idea what was faulty until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got no rest the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
