It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were sitting there talking about the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Cramlington and filled petrol in a diesel Renault hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my books!

Services We Provide:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Northumberland to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cramlington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the usual troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Cramlington - Cramlington Fuel Drain

I appreciated a great day fishing during my off day and felt pleased the following morning as I was on the way to assist a young family on holiday in Cramlington. They had conked out after adding diesel into their Volkswagen, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the woman telling off her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place regularly in Northumberland and that it's really nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
