It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing there talking over the sports, ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Howtel and put petrol in her diesel Ford lease car in error. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Howtel (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix the standard issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Howtel - Howtel Vehicle Misfuel

A person called us from Howtel saying he unfortunately piped petrol in his diesel SEAT. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the technician around 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He meticulously flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly done.
