Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Northamptonshire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very expediently.
You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Northamptonshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.
Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Thrapston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They will handle the usual issues that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Thrapston
A few reports:
It's no fun being stuck in a vehicle contaminated with the incorrect fuel halfway down the road. One of our most recent customers who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (SEAT) in Thrapston had exactly this kind of trouble: "WrongFuelSOS.com's man moved my motor from the road. He fixed it and had it going again within just thirty minutes. Highly recommended."
Fuel Removal Thrapston - Thrapston Wrong Fuel Drain
It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 2am and almost noone was about. It was fairly dead up to now, and me and Brian were loafing about browsing a few old articles. That was a rare peaceful moment in Northamptonshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The customer on the other end explained: "I just finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi in error". I told him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we left, ending up in Thrapston only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for getting there so fast. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two young ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.
