It was after six pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Newcastle upon Tyne and filled petrol in a diesel BMW hire car in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected position and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Tyne and Wear done well in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Tyne and Wear we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Newcastle upon Tyne (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They will fix any of the usual troubles which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Newcastle upon Tyne - Newcastle upon Tyne Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman phoned us from his residence on a street in Newcastle upon Tyne. He said, "My car (a Land Rover) is not starting and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
