It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Benfieldside and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and not so anxious. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In County Durham we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Benfieldside (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Benfieldside - Benfieldside Fuel Rescue

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and felt delighted the next morning as I set off to aid a new family who were on holiday in Benfieldside. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their SEAT, and they were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens constantly in County Durham and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
