It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there commenting on the rugby, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Rockingham and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach her fairly quickly.

Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water.Adblue tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Rockingham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will fix the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
