It was about ten pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Burnham Overy Town and put petrol in a diesel Porsche rental. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less stressed. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Burnham Overy Town (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to handle any of the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Burnham Overy Town - Burnham Overy Town Wrong Fuel Assist

A person phoned us from his house on a street in Burnham Overy Town. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volvo) is not starting and is producing terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
