It was about seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there talking over the recent golf, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Branksome and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more job in County Durham well done in my mind!

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Branksome (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
