It was about six pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting discussing the golf rankings, ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Mount Pleasant and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We are able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck.

Fuel Rescue Mount Pleasant - Mount Pleasant Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down just near a road in Mount Pleasant. His Skoda engine had ceased working and he had no clue what was wrong till he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the day before and that could have been why.
