Our Areas of Experience :
Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Norfolk we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations rather quickly.
Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Fuel Drain Horstead - Horstead Fuel Drain
I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Horstead. They had stopped after putting diesel into their SEAT, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this takes place on daily basis in Norfolk and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
