It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated going over the rugby results, prepared for the 6th job to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Fairstead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance from us, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Fairstead (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.

They are also able to handle any of the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Fairstead - Fairstead Fuel Removal

I'd had a great evening cycling on my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were vacationing in Fairstead. They stopped after inserting petrol in their Fiat, and were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl berating her man for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens constantly in Norfolk and that it's nothing at all to stress about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
