It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby, waiting around for the 6th call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Lintz and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in County Durham well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases very simply.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lintz (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Lintz - Lintz Fuel Drain

A man rang us from his residence on a road in Lintz. He explained, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
