It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! James and me were resting talking over the recent footy, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Bournmoor and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to get to her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. One more job in County Durham well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bournmoor - Bournmoor Vehicle Misfuel

A customer phoned us from his place on a close in Bournmoor. He said, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not running and is creating very bad noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
