It was just after five pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent football rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Ovington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Ovington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Ovington - Ovington Fuel Removal

I'd had a terrific day fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I set out to help a young family away in Ovington. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their Suzuki, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this takes place all the time in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, but he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
