What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and I was off to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet in Harrowgate Village. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a backwater road en route to see her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I had just purchased it a couple of days ago when my old car, which I had for more than twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely County Durham woman!

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in County Durham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 3:30am and almost noone was about. It had been rather uneventful until now, and Brian and I were sitting looking through a couple of old papers. That was a rare peaceful hour in County Durham. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I only just ended my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel Suzuki by mistake". We got him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Harrowgate Village half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were going back home we noticed two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.

A man rang us from his home on a close in Harrowgate Village. He said, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not running and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he would be certain to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
