Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in White-le-Head

If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in White-le-Head (wrong fuel White-le-Head) we are the guys you need to speak to. We operate throughout the whole of the White-le-Head vicinity and all surrounding parts.

It was about 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th job to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in White-le-Head and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more job in County Durham well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in White-le-Head (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
