It was about six pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the recent football results, prepared for the next job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Eland Green and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. One more job in Northumberland done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northumberland we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Eland Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the most common issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Eland Green - Eland Green Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a road in Eland Green. He pronounced, "My car (a Audi) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I flip the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
