Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases quite easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Headlam (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the usual troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Headlam - Headlam Wrong Fuel

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a road in Headlam. He pronounced, "My car (a Honda) is not starting and is creating awful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.

Recent Fuel Drains in Headlam

Just a few of the more common details we have heard from our engineers in Headlam:

We got a telephone call from a customer whose Mercedes had conked out on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I confused the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car in error. You arrived and sorted out the problem after my vehicle died." We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely and the motorist could then carry on with his sheduled delivery.

Fuel Rescue Headlam - Headlam Fuel Drain

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly dawn and nobody was about. It had become fairly quiet thus far, and me and Brian were loafing about reading through a number of old magazines. It was an uncommon restful hour in County Durham. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The customer on the other end said: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in the Peugeot in error". We told him to tell us where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Headlam under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the engine and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were heading back home we noticed two ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

Fuel Removal Headlam - Headlam Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a perfect afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt contented the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were holidaying in Headlam. They had stopped after adding petrol in their Dacia, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife berating her partner for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs quite frequently in County Durham and that it's nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!
