It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated going over the recent golf, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Charlton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Northamptonshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Charlton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They will fix the common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
