Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Norfolk we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Norfolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hickling (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They can also take care of the usual problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
