It was just before eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting going over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Hallington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen.

Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northumberland we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Northumberland to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Fuel Removal Hallington - Hallington Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Hallington. His Land Rover car had ceased operating and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that must have been why.
