It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's sports, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Dipton and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at.

Our Fields of Specialties:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Dipton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dipton - Dipton Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from Dipton to state that he foolishly pumped the wrong fuel into his diesel Land Rover. "I can't believe it! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer around 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He carefully cleaned the fuel system and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the job properly done.
