It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated talking over the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Baybridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche lease car. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Baybridge (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to fix the common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
