If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Cotton End (incorrect fuel Cotton End) we are the company you need to phone. We cater to the entirety of the Cotton End vicinity and all surrounding towns.

It was after seven pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were resting going over the football results, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Cotton End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less stressed. Another job in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Cotton End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cotton End - Cotton End Fuel Removal

A person rang us from his home on a street in Cotton End. He exclaimed, "My car (a Dacia) is not running and is producing awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
