It was around 6 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Buxton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Buxton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with the usual issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
