It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were relaxing going over the golf, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in West Cornforth and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in County Durham done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in West Cornforth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the usual problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
