It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the footy, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Sedgefield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in County Durham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Sedgefield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
