It was after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the tennis rankings, ready for the next job that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Loansdean and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet hire car. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And of course never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Northumberland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Loansdean (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Loansdean - Loansdean Fuel Rescue

A man called us from his house on a close in Loansdean. He explained, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
