Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations pretty easily.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Northamptonshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.
