It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Greenside and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Greenside (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Greenside - Greenside Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a perfect afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Greenside. They pulled over after filling petrol in their Renault, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens frequently in Tyne and Wear and that it is nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!
