Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Southwood

If you've put the completely wrong fuel in your car and at this point have to have a fuel drain you are probably searching the internet hoping for a rapid, dependable, qualified and price effective fuel drain company in Southwood or Norfolk. We are the contractor for you!

It was just after five pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there discussing the weekend's sports, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Southwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Norfolk to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Southwood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle the common problems which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Southwood - Southwood Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman rang us from his house on a road in Southwood. He exclaimed, "My car (a Citroen) is not starting up and is creating very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
