It was about 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing going over the golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Lower Boddington and filled petrol in a diesel Honda hire car in error. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northamptonshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lower Boddington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with the standard problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Lower Boddington - Lower Boddington Fuel Drain

A customer called us from his home on a close in Lower Boddington. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Toyota) is not running and is producing dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
