It was around five pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Chester Moor and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in County Durham well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.
