Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hartlepool (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the usual problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hartlepool - Hartlepool Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I headed out to aid a new family vacationing in Hartlepool. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Citroen, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on continuously in County Durham and that it is nothing at all to worry about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Hartlepool

Several examples:

I'm not too inclined to doing work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the family following a superb roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to help a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his Toyota. He was stationed in Hartlepool therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and did not ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted damage through running it?" I explained truth be told there should not be any problems and that I would remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and another content customer was able to continue on his travelling without the need for hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes operating on weekends in County Durham a tiny bit better for me personally!

Fuel Drain Hartlepool - Hartlepool Vehicle Misfuel

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather uneventful so far, and John and I were sitting looking at a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon quiet time in County Durham. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the telephone rang I leaped! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I've concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a Dacia by mistake". I got him to let us know where exactly the car was located and we left, reaching him in Hartlepool under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so fast. While we were going back home we saw two young ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.
