It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting talking about the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Fir Tree and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in County Durham done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Fir Tree (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Fir Tree - Fir Tree Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from his home on a road in Fir Tree. He explained, "My vehicle (a Smart) is not starting up and is producing very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
