We're merely a call away.

It was around ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the weekend's sports, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Pennywell and put petrol in her diesel Citroen lease car. She was very distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another job in Tyne and Wear well done in my books!

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Pennywell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the usual issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
