It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Thrapston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Northamptonshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? It tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Northamptonshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.
