It was just after ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there commenting on the footy, ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Craigside and filled petrol in her diesel Smart hire car. The poor lady was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my books!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Craigside (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the most common troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
