It was after six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in High Spen and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Tyne and Wear we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat 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 you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Tyne and Wear to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

We can easily help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.
