It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there going over the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Spinney Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental car. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive.

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northamptonshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Northamptonshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Spinney Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to fix the common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
