Our Areas of Competency :

Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not knowing the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Norfolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Thorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will handle any of the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Thorpe - Thorpe Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman rang us from his place on a street in Thorpe. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting and is making awful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.

Recent Fuel Drains in Thorpe

Various stories:

We did a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a spectacular residential home in Thorpe recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually get home when my car cut out." Our specialist went out, even though it was rather late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Lexus to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thorpe - Thorpe Wrong Fuel Drain

A man called us from his Land Rover where he had broken down on the bustling street. "I mistakenly put unleaded in my diesel car and I shortly realised it a few miles down the road!" Thankfully we were in a position to attend him in a fairly quick time, considering the traffic, and he was soon back behind the wheel.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thorpe - Thorpe Fuel Drain

A gentleman had stopped just off a street in Thorpe. His Nissan motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
