It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Lartington and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in case you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lartington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix the usual problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Lartington - Lartington Wrong Fuel in Car

A man contacted us from his home on a close in Lartington. He explained, "My car (a Fiat) is not starting and is making awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
