It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the seventh job to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Worstead and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Norfolk we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Worstead (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car. They can also fix the most common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Worstead - Worstead Wrong Fuel Assist

A man phoned us from Worstead saying he had unfortunately pumped petrol into his diesel Dacia. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It took our technician approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He totally flushed the fuel system and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the job professionally performed.
