Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Northamptonshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Thornby (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
