It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and me were relaxing talking over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 8th call to come in. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Burton Latimer and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental in error. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly.

Our Areas of Competency :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Northamptonshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Burton Latimer (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Burton Latimer - Burton Latimer Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a wonderful day hiking during my day off and felt contented the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple away in Burton Latimer. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for being so daft. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on frequently in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
