It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the recent rugby, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Alnwick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water.Adblue tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And of course take care not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Northumberland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Alnwick (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They can also deal with any of the common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A guy had broken down just off a street in Alnwick. His Mitsubishi car had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been why.
