Our Areas of Expertise :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Removal Barnwell - Barnwell Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a terrific evening hiking on my day off and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Barnwell. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Kia, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I heard to the woman telling off her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens everyday in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted goodbye and considered what my wife would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
