It was before ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting there going over the recent sports, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Woodton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Norfolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Woodton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to fix the standard troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Woodton - Woodton Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a fantastic day golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple on holiday in Woodton. They broken down after adding diesel into their SEAT, and the car was close to half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on everyday in Norfolk and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved so long and thought about what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
