It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports rankings, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Branton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and less worried. A misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

Our assistance is completely mobile and we are able to come out no matter exactly where you are and have the automobile drained, cleaned out and running just as before very quickly - and at a reasonable price!

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northumberland we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Branton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will handle any of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
