It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were resting going over the recent tennis results, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in East Walton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? It is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in East Walton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the most common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain East Walton - East Walton Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a perfect evening cycling during my afternoon off and felt pleased the next day as I set off to aid a new family who were on holiday in East Walton. They'd pulled over after adding diesel in their Mitsubishi, and the car was approximately an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling off her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation happens quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing to stress about, however he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
