It was about 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated talking about the recent sports rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Byers Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid composed of a mix of high-purity ionized water and urea.Adblue is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in County Durham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Byers Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Byers Green - Byers Green Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Byers Green. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their BMW, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman chastising her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem comes to pass on daily basis in County Durham and that it's nothing to fret about, however he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I waved good-bye and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
