Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hingham

Wrong fuel in your car in Hingham? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you going again with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hingham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar hire car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hingham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hingham - Hingham Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a wonderful day golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Hingham. They conked out after putting diesel in their Smart, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked while I heard to the gal chastising her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Norfolk and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor lad. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved so long and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
