It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the tennis rankings, prepared for the next call that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Black Heddon and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you get in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Black Heddon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Black Heddon - Black Heddon Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a man phoned us just after his Renault cut out in the middle of a street in Black Heddon. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove to the street before having to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
