It was before 6 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in West Beckham and put petrol in a diesel Ford hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in West Beckham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
