Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Thursford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
