AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Northumberland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Capheaton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to handle the most common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Capheaton - Capheaton Petrol in Diesel

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Capheaton. They'd stopped after filling diesel into their Audi, and they were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this happens constantly in Northumberland and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had an earful by his better half. Poor chap. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
