Our Fields of Specialties:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Howe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Howe - Howe Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was en route to help a new couple who were on vacation in Howe. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their Vauxhall, and were about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs everyday in Norfolk and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I waved farewell and pondered on what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
