It was before 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were resting there discussing the recent footy results, ready for the sixth job that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Gillingham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we could find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

Services We Offer:

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.
