We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Falstone (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They can also handle the normal troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Falstone - Falstone Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling delighted the following working day as I was on the way to help a new couple who were holidaying in Falstone. They pulled over after inserting petrol into their Honda, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation happens constantly in Northumberland and that it's really absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
