It was around five pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there talking over the recent sports results, ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Ushaw Moor and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and much less anxious. One more job in County Durham done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in County Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Ushaw Moor (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
