It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Tunstall and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Tyne and Wear to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Tunstall (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also fix any of the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A person phoned us from Tunstall to say he had pumped unleaded into his diesel Renault. "What a fool! I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car!"
