It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated discussing the footy results, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Walkergate and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Tyne and Wear we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Tyne and Wear to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Walkergate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Tyne and Wear Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Walkergate - Walkergate Wrong Fuel Drain

A man rang us from his residence on a street in Walkergate. He explained, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not running and is generating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car however believed he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
