It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the recent footy, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Mattishall and put petrol in a diesel BMW lease car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we could find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my books!

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not understanding how to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations rather simply.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Mattishall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will deal with any of the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
