It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Brierton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another job in County Durham well done in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Brierton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will take care of any of the most common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Brierton - Brierton Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a motorist called us just after his Smart cut out in the middle of a road in Brierton. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel car and had managed to get as far as the street before having to pull up. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately fifteen minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
