It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Elwick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus hire car in error. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northumberland we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Elwick (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle any of the common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
