Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Claxton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They will deal with any of the normal issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Claxton - Claxton Wrong Fuel Assist

A guy had broken down off a road in Claxton. His MG car had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
