It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated going over the weekend's tennis, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Cotterstock and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Northamptonshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this situation don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases rather simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Northamptonshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cotterstock (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the typical troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Cotterstock - Cotterstock Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down just off a street in Cotterstock. His Peugeot car had stopped running and he had no idea what was awry till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got absolutely no sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason.
