It was just after 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's football results, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Burnham Market and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Burnham Market (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to handle the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Burnham Market - Burnham Market Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple weeks ago a young man called us when his Lexus cut out along a road in Burnham Market. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel car and managed to drive so far as the street before being forced to give up. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, got to him in about twenty minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
