It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there commenting on the golf results, at the ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Hexham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously never switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Northumberland for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hexham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They will fix any of the normal problems which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hexham - Hexham Wrong Fuel Assist

A man contacted us from his place on a close in Hexham. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not running and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
