It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the rugby, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hetton-Le-Hole and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried. A fuel drain in Tyne and Wear done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Tyne and Wear to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hetton-Le-Hole (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
