Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northumberland we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Northumberland to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Ancroft (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will fix any of the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ancroft - Ancroft Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect day golfing during my afternoon off and felt satisfied the following day as I was on the way to help a young family away in Ancroft. They had pulled over after filling petrol in their Land Rover, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I listened to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place frequently in Northumberland and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. In any case, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
