It was close to six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking over the recent sports, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Spennymoor and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we could find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Durham well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Durham we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will often result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very expediently.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to several private and business premises in Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Fuel Drain Spennymoor - Spennymoor Wrong Fuel

A motorist had conked out near a road in Spennymoor. His Mercedes car had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that must have been the reason.
