It was after five pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Netherton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental car in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could find her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and less concerned. Yet another job in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Netherton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the most common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
