Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northamptonshire we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Hellidon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will take care of the standard problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
