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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hartburn (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to handle any of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hartburn - Hartburn Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect day fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased the next day as I was en route to assist a new family who were on vacation in Hartburn. They conked out after adding petrol into their Audi, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed as I heard to the wife chastising her spouse for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs everyday in Northumberland and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still got an earful. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
