It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there talking about the recent tennis, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Northfield and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and less anxious. One more job in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Northamptonshire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Northamptonshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Northfield (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Northfield - Northfield Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a street in Northfield. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
