If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car and at this point require a fuel drain you are probably trawling the web searching for a swift, reputable, professional and affordable fuel drain company in Warham or Norfolk. We are the people for you!

It was before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby results, ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Warham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai lease car. She was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Warham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also handle any of the usual issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Warham - Warham Wrong Fuel

A guy had conked out near a street in Warham. His Toyota car had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was faulty till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been why.
