It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were resting commenting on the footy rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Irthlingborough and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Northamptonshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s made from a blend of high-purity deionized water and urea.It is certainly harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Northamptonshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Irthlingborough (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also handle the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
