Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier 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 deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Leamside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Leamside - Leamside Petrol in Diesel

I had a fantastic day cycling on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I was en route to help a young family who were vacationing in Leamside. They had pulled over after putting diesel in their Jaguar, and were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs quite frequently in County Durham and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Leamside

Usual fuel drain testimonies in Leamside:

A young person who had only just passed his test had wrong fuelled his MG by putting petrol in the diesel vehicle at the station close to Leamside. He said, "This is just the second occasion I have filled up my car since I paid for it and I have no idea of what to do." He was scared because his step father had just recently bought him the car. He found us on the internet and so called us immediately, frightened about what he should do. Our guy on the call informed him that we would be with him within forty-five minutes and to not do anything to his vehicle while waiting. We finished the drain on his vehicle and he said how amazed he was that it was completed so rapidly and without any consequence whatsoever.

Fuel Rescue Leamside - Leamside Wrong Fuel in Car

A woman from Leamside with a full car of kids in her diesel Mazda had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the kids on board."
