It was just before seven pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Dukesfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Dukesfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
