It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the rugby, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Slapton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche lease car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And of course never start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Slapton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the usual problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
