AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Northamptonshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Gretton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Gretton - Gretton Wrong Fuel in Car

A young lady from Gretton with her little ones in her diesel Ford had put £30 of petrol at the petrol station. She called us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
