It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting discussing the recent sports results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Fir Tree and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in County Durham well done in my opinion!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in the event that you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Fir Tree (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Fir Tree - Fir Tree Fuel Rescue

I'd had a fantastic afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple vacationing in Fir Tree. They broken down after inserting petrol in their MINI, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in County Durham and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
