It was close to five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there talking about the recent golf results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Whitelee and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car in error. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Northumberland we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases very simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Northumberland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Whitelee (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the common issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
