It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf results, prepared for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in South Shields and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Tyne and Wear well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
