It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Harbottle and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected area and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Northumberland to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Harbottle (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will take care of any of the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

It was still early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays close by, got to him in about twenty minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
