It was about seven pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the tennis, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Great Yarmouth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. A job in Norfolk done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).It is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Great Yarmouth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
