It was just before eight pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting talking over the recent rugby, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in North Blyth and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northumberland we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in North Blyth (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with the standard troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue North Blyth - North Blyth Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic day golfing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a young family on vacation in North Blyth. They'd broken down after putting diesel in their Porsche, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife berating her partner for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place everyday in Northumberland and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Poor lad. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
