It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the footy, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Holcot and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Northamptonshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Holcot (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the normal troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Holcot - Holcot Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a wonderful evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Holcot. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Audi, and they were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled while I listened to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs continuously in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
