It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were resting commenting on the recent footy, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Wilby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. A job in Northamptonshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Northamptonshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Northamptonshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Wilby (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to handle the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Wilby - Wilby Wrong Fuel Drain

A man called us from his place on a street in Wilby. He exclaimed, "My car (a Ford) is not running and is generating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
