It was after ten pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, ready for the next job that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Bradbury and put petrol in a diesel MG hire car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Fuel Drain Bradbury - Bradbury Vehicle Misfuel

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was about. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Paul were loafing about looking at a number of old newspapers. It was a rare quiet hour in County Durham. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I've just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the MINI". I got him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, getting to him in Bradbury half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back to the depot we spotted two ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out and helped them change it, to their elation.
