Wrong Fuel Stanhope - Stanhope Fuel Removal

I had a perfect evening golfing during my off day and felt contented the next working day as I set off to help a young couple who were away in Stanhope. They had broken down after putting diesel in their Smart, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her man for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this happens all the time in Durham and that it is nothing at all to worry about, however he still had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd never live it down!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Durham we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

I had a great day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Stanhope. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel in their SEAT, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem happens on daily basis in Durham and that it is nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel.

Vehicle Misfuel Stanhope - Stanhope Fuel Rescue

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3am and noone was about. It was rather dead until now, and me and Ryan were loafing around reading a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon restful moment in Durham. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the other end told me: "I only just concluded my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my Mercedes in error". We asked him to tell us where the car was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Stanhope only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were returning to the depot we found two young women on the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.
