Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Haswell Plough and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover hire car. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!"

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course do not start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may well produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
