It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports rankings, prepared for the next job to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Burnham Market and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. One more job in Norfolk done well in my books!

Our Services:

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in case you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Burnham Market (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car. They will take care of any of the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Burnham Market - Burnham Market Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a great evening cycling during my off day and felt satisfied the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were vacationing in Burnham Market. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their SEAT, and they were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "How could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs constantly in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
