We're merely a call away.

It was before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Oakwood and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental in error. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried. Another job in Northumberland well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Oakwood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car. They can also take care of the standard troubles that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Oakwood - Oakwood Fuel Drain

I'd had a great afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new family on vacation in Oakwood. They broken down after inserting diesel into their Volkswagen, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her partner for being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem goes on everyday in Northumberland and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
