It was just before ten pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting talking over the recent rugby, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in The Eals and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart lease car. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. A job in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in The Eals (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They can also take care of the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
