It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting talking over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th call of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Chopwell and put petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady right away.

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Tyne and Wear we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Tyne and Wear to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.
