We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Northumberland to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Broomhaugh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
