It was around seven pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Edgefield Street and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car. The poor thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my books!

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Edgefield Street (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
