It was close to eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Ninebanks and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another job in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

Services We Give:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Northumberland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ninebanks (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car 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 engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with any of the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
