Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Northumberland to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Houghton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Houghton - Houghton Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a great day hiking on my holiday and felt cheerful the next working day as I was en route to help a new couple who were vacationing in Houghton. They conked out after filling diesel into their Volkswagen, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her man for turning out to be so confused. "How could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs frequently in Northumberland and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, but he all the same got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I made the same error... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Houghton

Some stories:

No one likes grinding to a halt in a vehicle full of the wrong fuel halfway down the road. Recently a customer who filled her diesel car with petrol (Volvo) in Houghton had exactly this type of headache: "Your man moved my vehicle from the live lane. He fixed it and had it going in less than twenty-five minutes. I highly recommend WrongFuelSOS.com."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Houghton - Houghton Fuel Removal

This was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about sunrise and nobody was around. It was quite dead thus far, and me and Brian were relaxing perusing several old papers. That was an unusual quiet hour in Northumberland. It was so tranquil that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my Citroen". I asked him to inform us just where the car was and we left, getting to him in Houghton no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were going back to base we spotted two ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, to their elation.

Wrong Fuel Drain Houghton - Houghton Fuel Drain

The other day a driver called us after his Nissan stopped on a street in Houghton. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel car and got to the street before needing to stop. It was yet early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in about 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
