It was before 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent golf, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Longhorsley and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A job in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Northumberland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Longhorsley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will fix the typical problems that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Longhorsley - Longhorsley Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a great day cycling on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple on vacation in Longhorsley. They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Ford, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "How could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens regularly in Northumberland and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
