It was after 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Wall Nook and put petrol in a diesel Citroen rental car. The unfortunate thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in County Durham well done in my books!

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Wall Nook (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also handle the normal issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Wall Nook - Wall Nook Wrong Fuel in Car

A motorist had broken down just off a road in Wall Nook. His MINI car had stopped running and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got zero rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
