It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Ushaw Moor and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. A fuel drain in County Durham well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made out of a mixture of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in County Durham to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
