It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the recent tennis, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Jarrow and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota rental car in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Tyne and Wear well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Tyne and Wear we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Tyne and Wear to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Jarrow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Jarrow - Jarrow Wrong Fuel Drain

A person rang us from his place on a road in Jarrow. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not starting and is making very bad noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
