Our Services:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Northamptonshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Strixton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.


Vehicle Misfuel Strixton - Strixton Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a road in Strixton. He explained, "My vehicle (a SEAT) is not starting and is generating terrible noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.


Recent Fuel Drains in Strixton

A number of the more common stories we have heard from the engineers in Strixton:

Now I'm not necessarily too excited about doing work Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family following a lovely lunch prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he had put the incorrect petrol in his Porsche. He was somewhere in Strixton so I was on scene soon. As I arrived right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any harm by running it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be any problems and also I'd personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus one more contented client could continue on their travelling without the need for hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and this helps make working on weekends in Northamptonshire just a little bit better for me!

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet so far, and me and Mark were relaxing looking through a couple of old magazines. It was an uncommon peaceful moment in Northamptonshire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The motorist said: "I've completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in my MINI". I instructed him to let us know just where he was located and we set off, arriving in Strixton no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said thanks for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

I had a perfect evening golfing on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new couple who were vacationing in Strixton. They'd conked out after adding petrol in their Skoda, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this happens everyday in Northamptonshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
