These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Northumberland we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Northumberland to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel South Newsham - South Newsham Petrol in Diesel

I had a great evening hiking on my holiday and felt pleased the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were holidaying in South Newsham. They pulled over after filling diesel into their Chevrolet, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling off her spouse for actually being so silly. "How could you actually be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this goes on quite frequently in Northumberland and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
