Incorrect fuel in your car in Egglescliffe? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you running once more with our specialist wrong fuel removal service.

It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were resting going over the weekend's football, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Egglescliffe and put petrol in a diesel Nissan hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my mind!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously do not crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container in the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Egglescliffe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will handle any of the usual problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Egglescliffe - Egglescliffe Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a perfect day cycling during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new family on vacation in Egglescliffe. They'd broken down after adding diesel into their Citroen, and the car was around an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal berating her man for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place everyday in County Durham and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
