If you've mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in your car and immediately need to have a fuel drain you are very likely browsing the web searching for a quick, reliable, expert and affordable wrong fuel removal company in Whitelee or Northumberland. We are the service for your requirements!

It was before 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Whitelee and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Northumberland we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container at the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Whitelee (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Whitelee - Whitelee Wrong Fuel

A motorist had broken down near a road in Whitelee. His Ford car had ceased operating and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
