It was around 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting around for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Welney and filled petrol in a diesel Honda hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Welney (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the standard troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Welney - Welney Fuel Drain

A gentleman had conked out near a road in Welney. His Nissan car had stopped running and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason.
