Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — Thetford Fuel Recovery
How fast can a fuel technician arrive in Thetford?
Our mobile units cover Thetford and surrounding Norfolk/Suffolk villages with an average local response time of 45 to 60 minutes.
What should I do if I put the wrong fuel in at a petrol station?
Do not start your engine or insert the keys into the ignition. Leave the vehicle switched off, notify the forecourt attendant, and call our 24/7 dispatch desk immediately. Keeping the ignition off prevents contaminated fuel from entering the engine.

Is your service safe for petrol station forecourts and home driveways?
Yes. All our service vehicles utilize spark-proof fuel transfer equipment built to strict UK environmental and ATEX safety standards.
