We're merely a phone call away.

It was close to ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting there discussing the rugby, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Easington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we could reach the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in County Durham well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Easington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Easington - Easington Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had conked out off a street in Easington. His Suzuki car had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
