It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Drayton and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and much less concerned. Yet another job in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't crank the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Drayton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the normal problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Drayton - Drayton Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a wonderful day cycling during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Drayton. They stopped after adding diesel in their Hyundai, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem occurs constantly in Northamptonshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!
