If you've unfortunately put the completely wrong fuel in your car and so want a fuel drain you are probably searching the internet looking for a swift, reputable, qualified and economical fuel drain company in Wiggenhall St Peter or Norfolk. We are the people to help you!

It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing going over the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Wiggenhall St Peter and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental in error. The poor lady was very distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases very swiftly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Wiggenhall St Peter (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Norfolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car. They will handle any of the standard issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wiggenhall St Peter - Wiggenhall St Peter Wrong Fuel

A person rang us from his home on a close in Wiggenhall St Peter. He said, "My vehicle (a Dacia) is not running and is generating very bad noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
