It was about 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there talking over the recent football results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Stoke Doyle and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Northamptonshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northamptonshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Stoke Doyle (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Stoke Doyle - Stoke Doyle Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a street in Stoke Doyle. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Toyota) is not starting and is making terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
