It was about six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in The Eals and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Northumberland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in The Eals (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
