It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated there discussing the recent tennis results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Great Houghton and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car. She was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Northamptonshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Great Houghton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the usual troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
