It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Irthlingborough and filled petrol in a diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. A job in Northamptonshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:
These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue Contamination
All around Northamptonshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.
Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very quickly.
You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Northamptonshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.
