Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Preston-on-Tees and filled petrol in her diesel Honda rental in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously never crank the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Preston-on-Tees - Preston-on-Tees Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a fantastic day hiking during my day off and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set out to help a young family holidaying in Preston-on-Tees. They broken down after filling petrol in their Lexus, and were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in County Durham and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent by his better half. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!
