It was after six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated going over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Sandhoe and filled petrol in a diesel Smart rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Northumberland we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly never start the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Northumberland to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Sandhoe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix any of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
