It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there talking over the recent sports, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Newcastle upon Tyne and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course never crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Tyne and Wear to deal with removing and recycling 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Newcastle upon Tyne (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the typical issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Newcastle upon Tyne - Newcastle upon Tyne Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a fantastic day hiking during the weekend and felt cheerful the next day as I set off to aid a new couple who were away in Newcastle upon Tyne. They stopped after filling diesel in their Volvo, and the car was about half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation occurs on daily basis in Tyne and Wear and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he all the same had his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
