It was just before five pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Newcastle upon Tyne and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Tyne and Wear we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Newcastle upon Tyne (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the standard troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Newcastle upon Tyne - Newcastle upon Tyne Fuel Removal

A motorist had stopped off a street in Newcastle upon Tyne. His Jaguar engine had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was awry till he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been why.
