It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Hart Station and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles from us, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and less anxious. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in County Durham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hart Station (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also fix any of the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
