Our Areas of Experience :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Houghton St Giles (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
