It was around 7 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! James and me were resting discussing the sports rankings, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Fosters Booth and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more job in Northamptonshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Northamptonshire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely do not turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Fosters Booth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
