It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Upton and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could reach the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A job in Northamptonshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Northamptonshire we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Northamptonshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the normal troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Upton - Upton Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had conked out just off a street in Upton. His Dacia engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the night before and that must have been precisely why.
