We are SPA licensed, and offers countrywide cover for anyone who has mistakenly misfuelled.

It was around 5 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the football, ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Cliftonville and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Services We Give:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course never crank the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Cliftonville (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty 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 (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
