Fuel Rescue Durham - Durham Wrong Fuel Assist

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was on my way to help an elder lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel Jaguar in Durham. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had just bought it several days back after my other car, which I'd owned for in excess of thirty years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant County Durham woman!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Durham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle the typical troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Durham

Following are feed-back and illustrations of fuel drains done in Durham:

A teenager who had recently got his licence had misfueled his Audi by putting petrol in the diesel car at the petrol station near Durham. He said, "This is only the second time I have filled up my vehicle since I got it and I don't know how to proceed." He was worried since his dad had just recently bought him the car. He found us on the net and so called it without delay, worried about what he needed to do.

Petrol in Diesel Durham - Durham Wrong Fuel Drain

This was certainly what is called the night shift. It was around 2am and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite dead up to now, and Ray and I were loafing around browsing some old papers. It was an unusual tranquil hour in County Durham. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end said: "I have only just ended my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel Dacia by mistake". We told him to tell us where the car was situated and we left, reaching him in Durham only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the engine and he said thanks for arriving so quickly. As we were heading back to the depot we found two young women on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.
