It was about eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there talking over the footy results, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in West Flodden and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental. The unfortunate lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northumberland we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really 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, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.
