It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the seventh telephone call to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Ushaw Moor and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Ushaw Moor (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ushaw Moor - Ushaw Moor Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful day golfing on my day off and was feeling delighted the following morning as I was on the way to aid a new couple who were away in Ushaw Moor. They had conked out after putting diesel in their MG, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in County Durham and that it's nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd never live it down!
