It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Upper Town and put petrol in her diesel Audi rental car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and not so worried. A fuel drain in County Durham done well in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.
