It was about six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there going over the sports results, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Bunwell Bottom and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from us, we could get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously do not turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Bunwell Bottom (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
