If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Swalwell (incorrect fuel Swalwell) we are the company you need to contact. We cover the entirety of the Swalwell territory and all surrounding sectors.

It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there talking over the rugby rankings, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Swalwell and put petrol in her diesel BMW hire car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Tyne and Wear we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly never start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Tyne and Wear to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Swalwell (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Swalwell - Swalwell Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a fantastic evening golfing on the weekend and felt contented the following day as I headed out to help a new family who were vacationing in Swalwell. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and were around an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her man off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Tyne and Wear and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
