It was before eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Blyth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Northumberland well done in my mind!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Blyth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They can also handle the typical issues that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Blyth - Blyth Wrong Fuel

A customer had conked out off a road in Blyth. His Fiat car had ceased running and he'd no idea what was faulty till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
