Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Norfolk we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Norfolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Brandon Creek (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also handle the typical problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Brandon Creek - Brandon Creek Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a perfect evening hiking on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new family who were on holiday in Brandon Creek. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their Chevrolet, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "How could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he still got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I shouted goodbye and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
