It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Mount Pleasant and put petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we could reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in County Durham well done in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in County Durham to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Mount Pleasant (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to handle any of the usual troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
