It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there going over the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Thurning and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.
