It was around eight pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the recent golf results, ready for the next job that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Linhope and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car in error. The poor thing was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to find her fairly quickly.

Our Areas of Specialties:

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Northumberland we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
