It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking over the sports, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Willington and put petrol in her diesel Dacia hire car in error. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Tyne and Wear done well in my mind!

Fuel Removal Willington - Willington Petrol in Diesel

What a great night of sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Sunday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi in Willington. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down on a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd just acquired it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I had had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Tyne and Wear woman!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Tyne and Wear we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Should you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Tyne and Wear to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.
