It was before 8 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting commenting on the rugby, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Whilton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

Put the wrong fuel in the car or truck and by some means managed to get it home or have broken down by the roadside - we can certainly help. Our service plan is totally mobile and we can come out regardless of exactly where you are and have the automobile drained, cleaned out and working just as before right away - and at a fair price!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not knowing how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Whilton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
