Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Cornsay Colliery

Petrol in your diesel car in Cornsay Colliery? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you driving again with our expert fuel removal assistance.

It was before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing going over the football results, waiting for the 8th job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Cornsay Colliery and put petrol in a diesel Smart rental. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my mind!

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Cornsay Colliery (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
