It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the football rankings, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Haltwhistle and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northumberland we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Northumberland to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Haltwhistle (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of any of the common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Haltwhistle - Haltwhistle Wrong Fuel

A week ago a motorist contacted us because his Honda stopped working in the middle of a street in Haltwhistle. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel vehicle and got to the road before having to pull over. It was early in the day and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, was with him in approximately twenty minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
