It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent golf results, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Willington and put petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. A job in County Durham well done in my books!

Provided Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Willington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Willington - Willington Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect afternoon fishing on my off day and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a young family away in Willington. They broken down after adding diesel into their Jaguar, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl chastising her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in County Durham and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted farewell and thought about what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
