It was around ten pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Walkergate and filled petrol in a diesel Honda rental car in error. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Tyne and Wear we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Tyne and Wear to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Walkergate (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Walkergate - Walkergate Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman called us from his home on a road in Walkergate. He explained, "My car (a Kia) is not starting up and is producing dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
