It was before 9 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the footy results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Alnwick and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda rental by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Northumberland well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northumberland we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite easily.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Northumberland to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Alnwick (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also take care of the normal issues which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Alnwick - Alnwick Wrong Fuel Assist

A man had conked out just off a road in Alnwick. His Jaguar engine had ceased operating and he had no idea what was faulty till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no rest the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
