It was before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis, prepared for the next call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Great Cressingham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. The poor thing was very affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly don't turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Norfolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Great Cressingham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will handle the typical troubles that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Great Cressingham - Great Cressingham Wrong Fuel Assist

I had enjoyed a wonderful day golfing on my afternoon off and felt cheerful the next working day as I headed out to help a young family holidaying in Great Cressingham. They had broken down after inserting diesel in their Citroen, and were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place continuously in Norfolk and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
