A customer broken down on a street in Woodland required a fuel drain around a month ago. His Mazda was stuck roadside after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he phoned us but somewhat anxious to move his car off the road since he was triggering considerable congestion. We got to him within 15 minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Woodland and had completed his previous job. He said, "I can not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and broke down here! My vehicle was not running well I needed to pull over and then it conked."

Our Areas of Competence :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Woodland (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Woodland - Woodland Wrong Fuel Assist

I enjoyed a terrific evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the next day as I set off to aid a young couple vacationing in Woodland. They had stopped after putting petrol in their Lexus, and the car was close to an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you even be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in County Durham and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he yet still had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
