It was just before five pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were seated there discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 6th job for the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Craigside and put petrol in her diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we could get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you may have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Craigside (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They are also able to fix any of the standard issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Craigside - Craigside Vehicle Misfuel

A man had conked out just near a road in Craigside. His Dacia motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason.
