It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there going over the golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Old Fold and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche lease car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear well done in my books!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

In Tyne and Wear we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Tyne and Wear to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Old Fold (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix the common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Old Fold - Old Fold Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had broken down near a road in Old Fold. His Kia motor had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was faulty till he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle.
