It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking about the recent rugby results, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Old Wingate and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda rental car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we could arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in County Durham to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.
