Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Cranwich

Petrol in diesel Cranwich? We can easily support the Cranwich region rather well due to the fact that one of our technical engineers lives locally and is consequently a stone's throw from the action. If you've got petrol in your diesel car in Cranwich we'll be glad to come out and do a full fuel drain. Wrong fuel in diesel in Cranwich shouldn't be a huge crisis. We're simply a telephone call away.

It was after seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there going over the footy rankings, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Cranwich and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases very quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Cranwich (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to fix the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
