Our Areas of Competence :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Northumberland to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Horsley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the standard problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
