It was about 10 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the recent football, prepared for the 8th call to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in South Lopham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. Another job in Norfolk done well in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Norfolk we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you get in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical know-how and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Norfolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced 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 an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in South Lopham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the normal problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
