It was about six pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the recent tennis results, waiting for the next fuel drain to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Tranwell and put petrol in a diesel Renault hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less worried. One more fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Northumberland we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Tranwell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car. They will deal with the usual issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Tranwell - Tranwell Fuel Drain

Last friday a young man called us because his Land Rover cut out on a street in Tranwell. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than twenty minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your fast response, particularly at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
