Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Brackley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the standard troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Brackley

Several reports:

Now I'm not ever too keen on doing work on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd just departed the family after a wonderful dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was en route to assist a gentleman who had filled the wrong fuel in his Lexus. He was stationed in Brackley hence it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted problems as a result of running it?" I said that there probably should not be harm and that I would remove the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and then one more happy customer could continue on their journey without any subsequent fuss. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make working on Sundays in Northamptonshire that tiny bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Drain Brackley - Brackley Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer from Brackley with a full car of little ones in her diesel SEAT had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op filling station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never wrong fuelled previously and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back up and running soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the children in the back."

We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I really appreciate it."
