It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the golf results, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Staverton and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Another job in Northamptonshire done well in my mind!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Northamptonshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Staverton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also deal with the standard issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
