It was after 8 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated there going over the recent golf, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Egglescliffe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles from our van, we could get to the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in County Durham well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Egglescliffe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Egglescliffe - Egglescliffe Wrong Fuel

A person phoned us from Egglescliffe saying he had foolishly pumped petrol in to his diesel Porsche. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He totally purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the work professionally completed.
