It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there commenting on the recent footy rankings, ready for the next job to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Killingworth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more job in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Tyne and Wear we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously never crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Tyne and Wear to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Killingworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They can also handle the normal issues which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Killingworth - Killingworth Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had stopped off a street in Killingworth. His Mazda engine had stopped working and he'd no idea what was the problem till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been why.
