It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting discussing the sports results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Muscott and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northamptonshire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Muscott (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
