It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in South Side and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. One more job in County Durham done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned 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 remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in South Side (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will handle any of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal South Side - South Side Wrong Fuel

I had a wonderful evening hiking on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I was en route to aid a young family on holiday in South Side. They had stopped after putting diesel in their Land Rover, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this goes on regularly in County Durham and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved so long and pondered on what my wife would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would never live it down!
