Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Watton Green

Petrol in your diesel car in Watton Green? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this emergency and get you driving once more with our expert fuel drain assistance.

It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the recent sports rankings, ready for the next job to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Watton Green and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly never crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Norfolk to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Watton Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
