Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your fuel can trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.
Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Wrong Fuel in Car in NN29 Postcode - Strixton Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were off to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel deep grey Fiat 500 in Strixton. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it a short while back when my other car, which I'd used for about thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Northamptonshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Strixton
Now I am not so inclined to working weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a wonderful dinner made for me by the wife, and I was off to help a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his new-shape Honda Ridgeline. He was only in Strixton thus it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on stuff and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any damage by starting it?" I revealed there probably should not be problems and also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and another pleased motorist was able to continue on his traveling without the difficulty. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make operating on Sundays in Northamptonshire just a little bit less painful in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Strixton - Fuel Rescue Strixton
This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and almost noone was around. It was quite uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing about browsing a number of old papers. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Northamptonshire. It was indeed that calm that the instant the phone finally rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I have just finished my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in the metallic yellow Mitsubishi Pajero by mistake". I told him to tell us where exactly the car was situated and we set off, arriving in Strixton less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we saw two women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.

- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
