It was about seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football, at the ready for the next call to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Pulham St Mary and put petrol in her diesel Ford hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Pulham St Mary (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
