It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting going over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Springwell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall lease car. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel.
