It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Sandhoe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my mind!

Provided Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Northumberland we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not knowing the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Northumberland to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Sandhoe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also deal with any of the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Sandhoe - Sandhoe Fuel Drain

A man had conked out just off a road in Sandhoe. His Ford engine had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was wrong till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no rest the day before and that must have been why.
