Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hedley Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will deal with any of the standard troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hedley Hill - Hedley Hill Fuel Drain

A man had broken down just near a road in Hedley Hill. His Peugeot engine had stopped running and he'd no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
