Petrol in your diesel car in Horsley? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you moving once more with our professional fuel removal service.

It was after five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Horsley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. A job in Northumberland well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northumberland we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Horsley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Horsley - Horsley Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman had conked out near a road in Horsley. His Mercedes motor had stopped operating and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been why.
