It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Lanchester and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered 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 reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Lanchester (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the normal troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lanchester - Lanchester Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out off a street in Lanchester. His MG engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
