It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and me were seated going over the sports rankings, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Radcliffe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another job in Northumberland done well in my mind!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northumberland we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you get in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
