It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated there talking about the weekend's footy, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Black Callerton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Tyne and Wear to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Black Callerton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix the typical problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Black Callerton - Black Callerton Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman contacted us from his home on a street in Black Callerton. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Mitsubishi) is not running and is making dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
