It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there going over the golf results, prepared for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Brancaster and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Brancaster (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Brancaster - Brancaster Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a young man called us after his Chevrolet broke down in the middle of a street in Brancaster. He had accidentally put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to halt. It was still early in the morning and our technician, who resides locally, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
