Our Areas of Experience :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Norfolk we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Norfolk to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Frans Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the common issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Frans Green - Frans Green Fuel Removal

I had a great day cycling on my off day and felt cheerful the following working day as I set out to help a new couple away in Frans Green. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on everyday in Norfolk and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!
