It was around eight pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the football rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Prestwick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Northumberland to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Prestwick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
