It was just after 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting talking about the recent golf results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Houghton-Le-Spring and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. One more job in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Tyne and Wear we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Fuel Removal Houghton-Le-Spring - Houghton-Le-Spring Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on holiday in Houghton-Le-Spring. They broken down after adding petrol in their Dacia, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place everyday in Tyne and Wear and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
