It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Marsden and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less worried. Another job in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Tyne and Wear we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Marsden (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Marsden - Marsden Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific afternoon hiking during my off day and felt pleased the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple away in Marsden. They conked out after putting petrol into their Suzuki, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I heard to the gal berating her partner for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation goes on regularly in Tyne and Wear and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
