Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Winston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car!

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Winston (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.


Fuel Removal Winston - Winston Fuel Removal

I had a terrific day cycling on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a young couple away in Winston. They had stopped after adding petrol into their Chevrolet, and were around an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled while I heard to the wife chastising her man for actually being so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in County Durham and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, but he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Winston

Several reports:

It must be horrible grinding to a halt in a automobile filled with the wrong fuel on the street. One of our most recent customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (MINI) in Winston endured exactly this type of problem: "You may already know I incorrectly put petrol in my diesel car a few days ago. I was so upset about it that I was in tears. Fortunately I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing that you were brilliant in draining and cleaning my car."

Wrong Fuel in Car Winston - Winston Wrong Fuel

A young lady from Winston with a full car of kids in her diesel Fiat had put £42 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children in the back."
