Petrol in your diesel car in Blaydon Haughs? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this hour of need and get you driving again with our specialist wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was around 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the football results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Blaydon Haughs and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Tyne and Wear we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Blaydon Haughs (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Blaydon Haughs - Blaydon Haughs Wrong Fuel Drain

Last friday a man called us soon after his Fiat broke down on a street in Blaydon Haughs. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel car and managed to get to the street before having to stop. It was really early in the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
