It was after seven pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Salhouse and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

Vehicle Misfuel Salhouse - Salhouse Wrong Fuel

What a good night's sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Saturday and we were off to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel MINI in Salhouse. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location in the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel because I had only just purchased it a short while ago right after my old car, which I owned for about twenty years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Norfolk lady!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial 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 mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Salhouse (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They are also able to take care of the typical issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Salhouse - Salhouse Fuel Removal

A motorist living in Salhouse contacted us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel Porsche and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply top up the tank with diesel and it'd run no problem. The engine was coughing and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you sorted my car."
