It was before ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the golf, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in North Walsham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in North Walsham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the standard troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Walsham - North Walsham Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from North Walsham to say he piped unleaded in to his diesel Audi. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It only took our technician roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully purged the fuel system and put clean fuel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the work properly completed.
