It was before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing going over the sports, prepared for the next job to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Kirklevington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance from us, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Another job in County Durham done well in my mind!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's 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, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Kirklevington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kirklevington - Kirklevington Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a wonderful evening cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling contented the following working day as I set off to assist a new family who were away in Kirklevington. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Land Rover, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation happens all the time in County Durham and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!
