Our Areas of Experience :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Gayton Thorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to fix the typical issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gayton Thorpe - Gayton Thorpe Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and felt cheerful the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Gayton Thorpe. They conked out after filling petrol into their Smart, and were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her partner for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Norfolk and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove away I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
