It was after seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there going over the footy, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Hunstanworth and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car in error. She was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen.

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

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

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

We can get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
