It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were resting there talking about the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Rockingham and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental in error. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northamptonshire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Rockingham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
