It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Hepscott and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in.

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Northumberland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Hepscott (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also fix the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
