It was about five pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting going over the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Mattishall and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Mattishall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Mattishall - Mattishall Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman phoned us from Mattishall to state that he had stupidly piped the wrong fuel in his diesel Hyundai. "I can't believe it! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He totally purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to have the task professionally performed.
