It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Glapthorn and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

I arrived at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs continuously in Northamptonshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy.

While watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!

Our Fields of Specialties:
These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Diesel
All around Northamptonshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.
Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very quickly.
Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel.
