Wrong fuel in your car in Wolsingham? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you driving again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the next telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Wolsingham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Durham done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Durham we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wolsingham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will fix the usual troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Wolsingham - Wolsingham Wrong Fuel Doctor

A couple weeks ago a gentleman phoned us just after his Citroen died in the middle of a road in Wolsingham. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before having to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who stays locally, reached him in about ten minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
