It was just before five pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in North Walsham and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental in error. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in North Walsham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain North Walsham - North Walsham Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling on my day off and felt contented with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family who were holidaying in North Walsham. They pulled over after filling petrol in their Volkswagen, and they were roughly an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
