It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated going over the recent tennis results, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Benfieldside and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and less worried. One more job in County Durham well done in my books!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Benfieldside (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Benfieldside - Benfieldside Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had stopped near a road in Benfieldside. His Lexus motor had ceased working and he had no clue what was the problem till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
