Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northamptonshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances quite simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Great Houghton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
