It was close to 8 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the sixth job to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Irthlingborough and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Northamptonshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Northamptonshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Irthlingborough (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
