It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the golf, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Longnewton and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus hire car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less worried.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Longnewton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

Fuel Rescue Longnewton - Longnewton Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple of days ago a young man contacted us soon after his Peugeot broke down in the middle of a road in Longnewton. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and had managed to drive to the road before being forced to pull over. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who resides nearby, was with him in approximately fifteen minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your prompt response, especially at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
