Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Norfolk we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thetford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the typical issues which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
