It was around eight pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the recent football results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Corbridge and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from us, we could get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Northumberland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
