It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Rift House and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental car. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so anxious. One more job in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases quite simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Rift House (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Rift House - Rift House Wrong Fuel

A customer had broken down just near a street in Rift House. His Volkswagen car had stopped running and he'd no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got no sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
