It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Gilesgate and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. Another job in County Durham done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Gilesgate (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to take care of the typical problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
