Wrong fuel in your car in Sunderland? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you moving once again with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the recent golf results, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Sunderland and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental car. She was very affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the car to a secure position and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and less worried. One more job in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Tyne and Wear we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Tyne and Wear to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Sunderland (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will fix any of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A while back a man telephoned us after his Mercedes stopped on a road in Sunderland.

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in about 20 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
