It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there talking about the tennis results, waiting for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Holmside and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet lease car. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Holmside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the typical troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Holmside - Holmside Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had conked out near a street in Holmside. His Audi engine had stopped running and he had no clue what was awry until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
