It was about ten pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent footy, waiting around for the 8th call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Church Stowe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases very quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Northamptonshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Church Stowe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Church Stowe - Church Stowe Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had stopped just near a road in Church Stowe. His SEAT car had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was the problem till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
