It was about eight pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting going over the recent tennis, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Litchborough and put petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. She was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe spot and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northamptonshire we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

We are able to help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.

Vehicle Misfuel Litchborough - Litchborough Petrol in Diesel

A person phoned us from his home on a road in Litchborough. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not running and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
