Wrong Fuel Houghton - Houghton Wrong Fuel Assist

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel Land Rover in Houghton. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd just got it a couple of days ago right after my old car, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a lovely Northumberland lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Northumberland to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Houghton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will handle the typical problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Doctor Houghton - Houghton Petrol in Diesel

A customer phoned us from his house on a road in Houghton. He pronounced, "My car (a Nissan) is not starting up and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.

All of our technicians are competent on the most up-to-date automobiles and their fuel systems. We go to in excess of 4 thousand contaminated fuel removals on an annual basis in the United Kingdom (absolutely yes, there are that many people today who do the same thing - you aren't the only person).

Petrol in Diesel Houghton - Houghton Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist who had put unleaded in his diesel Peugeot contacted us for assistance at the Shell petrol station in Houghton. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the nearby recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great way to start to our vacation." It was definitely no trouble whatsoever for our engineer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good vacation.

Wrong Fuel Houghton - Houghton Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a great evening hiking on my day off and was feeling contented the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family who were on holiday in Houghton. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs quite frequently in Northumberland and that it's nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
