It was before 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting talking over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Burnhope and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we could find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my books!

Wrong Fuel Burnhope - Burnhope Wrong Fuel Drain

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and we were off to help an old woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Chevrolet in Burnhope. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station and broken down on a backwater road en route to visit her grandchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago because my other car, which I had had for more than thirty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious County Durham lady!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you discover youself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Burnhope - Burnhope Fuel Rescue

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was stirring. It had been pretty dead up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing reading through a number of old papers. That was a rare restful time in County Durham. It was in fact so tranquil that the instant the phone rang it made me start! The person told me: "I have just completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my Vauxhall by mistake". We got him to inform us where exactly he was and we headed out, ending up in Burnhope less than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to the office we saw two ladies on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.
