It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Witton Gilbert and put petrol in her diesel MG rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in County Durham well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations rather easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in County Durham to deal with 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. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Witton Gilbert (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home.

Vehicle Misfuel Witton Gilbert - Witton Gilbert Vehicle Misfuel

Last week a youngster called us after his Jaguar stopped on a street in Witton Gilbert. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel vehicle and managed to get as far as the road before being forced to halt. It was really early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
