Our Areas of Competence :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Northumberland we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Northumberland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Chollerford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix the typical problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chollerford - Chollerford Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a wonderful day fishing during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to assist a young family who were on vacation in Chollerford. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their MG, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in Northumberland and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
