It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the recent sports, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Coanwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Northumberland to take care 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Coanwood (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle the normal problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Coanwood - Coanwood Wrong Fuel

I'd had a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and felt satisfied the following morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Coanwood. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Porsche, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Northumberland and that it is nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted bon voyage and considered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
