Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Northumberland to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Alnwick (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Northumberland Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will handle the normal problems which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Alnwick - Alnwick Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman had conked out off a street in Alnwick. His Suzuki car had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
