Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Norfolk we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Brancaster (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will handle the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Brancaster - Brancaster Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had stopped off a road in Brancaster. His Nissan motor had ceased running and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
