It was after 9 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated discussing the tennis results, ready for the sixth call to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Burnopfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. A job in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Burnopfield (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will deal with any of the usual troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
