It was just after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Thinford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so anxious. A job in County Durham well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you may have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may well bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Thinford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They can also handle any of the normal problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
