It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining!

Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Blyth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably often happen.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can easily produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Blyth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
