It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Alderford and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental car. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

Wrong fuel added in the tank - Petrol fuel in a diesel engine leads to a lot of trouble to your engine. It may start to cough and stall. The exhaust of your vehicle will start to emit a lot of smoke and starting the engine is truly a challenge, particularly if the engine has cooled off. Reversing the incorrect fuel, diesel in a petrol tank, the symptoms you will observe are similar. Either way, we will repair it for you.

Engine Contaminated with Water - It is very important that the tank and the entire system be drained totally. It causes the engine to rev up, jolt or splutter when you accelerate, and can ultimately rust your fuel system. This does not just happens to boats due to the jerry cans not completely emptied and utilized to fill fuel to the tank. This can occur to your car or truck too. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to assist with replacement filters.

AdBlue in the Fuel Tank - Intentionally done or made by mistake, we can help you fix your engine contaminated with AdBlue. This commonly happens because vehicle owners lack understanding about AdBlue. AdBlue isn't a fuel additive, it's a liquid that minimizes harmful emissions from the exhaust, and it is supposed to go in a special tank reserved for the purpose. More car owners are falling foul of AdBlue contamination every day, and it's our responsibility to solve it for you.

Red diesel contamination - Another wrong fuel that ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time is red diesel. It enters your car by your own mistake or of a gas stop worker isn't too proficient in the different types of diesel. If that happens, your car will go through the same symptoms like it would with diesel petrol mix up. It will run low and coughs just like a middle-aged lifelong smoker. But do not worry. Our team knows how to handle red diesel contamination.

Old Fuel in the Tank - As time passes by and your vehicle is idle for some time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This takes place if the vehicle is not driven and has been on standby for a long time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. Your engine might start and run, but it probably won't run as well. Old fuel needs to be drained out, and it's a service we provide.

A guy had broken down just off a street in Alderford. His Land Rover motor had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car."
