It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there discussing the recent golf results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Eldon Lane and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental in error. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the customer without delay.

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Eldon Lane (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the standard problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Eldon Lane - Eldon Lane Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman rang us from his residence on a close in Eldon Lane. He pronounced, "My car (a Lexus) is not starting and is generating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
