Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Newton Flotman and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Norfolk we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Norfolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Newton Flotman (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your automobile. They are also able to handle the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

A customer driving in Newton Flotman phoned us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled car to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel Dacia and, like many prior to her, assumed that she would be able to simply top up her car with diesel and it would be fine. The engine was coughing and then it died when she got to the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired within an hour or so while she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you repaired my car."
