It was before seven pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Grindon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at.

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s composed of a blend of high-purity ionized water and urea.Adblue is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Northumberland to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Grindon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They can also handle the most common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Grindon - Grindon Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to help a new couple holidaying in Grindon. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their Lexus, and they were close to an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling off her partner for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Northumberland and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, and yet he all the same had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
