It was after ten pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football rankings, ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Castleside and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and less anxious. A job in County Durham well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Castleside (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
