AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations very expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Alnwick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to handle any of the standard troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
