It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next call to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Shouldham and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Norfolk we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Shouldham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They can also deal with the standard troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Shouldham, Norfolk

Wrong Fuel Drain Shouldham - Shouldham Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a perfect evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new family on holiday in Shouldham. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their SEAT, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this problem happens regularly in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to stress about, but he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
