It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Haltwhistle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental in error. She was rather distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and much less concerned. Another job in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Northumberland to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Haltwhistle (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
