Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northamptonshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases pretty simply.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Northampton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Northampton - Northampton Fuel Drain

Last monday a motorist contacted us right after his Toyota cut out on a road in Northampton. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and got as far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was still early in the day and our engineer, who resides not far away, was with him in less than ten minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
