It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting talking over the recent rugby results, prepared for the seventh call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Alnwick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we could get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and not so anxious. A job in Northumberland done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course don't start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Northumberland to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Alnwick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Alnwick - Alnwick Vehicle Misfuel

A man contacted us from his house on a road in Alnwick. He exclaimed, "My car (a Mercedes) is not running and is making dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
