It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the weekend's footy, waiting for the 8th call for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Catfield and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases rather easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Catfield (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Catfield - Catfield Fuel Removal

I had a great afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following day as I set off to help a new family who were vacationing in Catfield. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Skoda, and were roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed as I listened to the wife telling off her man for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens everyday in Norfolk and that it's nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
