It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were sitting there going over the recent golf results, at the ready for the seventh job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Shotton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus hire car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was residing at.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made from a mixture of urea and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Should you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in County Durham to deal with taking away 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Shotton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Shotton - Shotton Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a great afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Shotton. They had broken down after filling diesel into their Nissan, and were around an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem goes on constantly in County Durham and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
