It was about five pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were sitting talking over the recent rugby, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Aldwincle and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a blend of urea and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations pretty simply.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Aldwincle (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also take care of any of the standard troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
