Vehicle Misfuel Alnmouth - Alnmouth Wrong Fuel in Car

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to help an older woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche in Alnmouth. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a rural road on route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only bought it a week ago when my previous car, which I owned for over twenty years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Northumberland woman!

Petrol in Diesel Alnmouth - Alnmouth Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling contented the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young family away in Alnmouth. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their Kia, and they were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady berating her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Northumberland and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Alnmouth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded 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 right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to handle the standard troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Alnmouth - Alnmouth Wrong Fuel Assist

A young lady from Alnmouth with a full car of little ones in her diesel Mercedes had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Texaco station. She phoned us weeping and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all would be ok and that she would be back up and running soon. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the little ones in the back."
