It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting there talking over the rugby rankings, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Kirk Merrington and filled petrol in her diesel Honda rental car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so anxious.

Services We Deliver:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In County Durham we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Kirk Merrington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to deal with the common issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A young lady from Kirk Merrington with a full car of little ones in her diesel MG had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything would be ok and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined.
