Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Easington Colliery (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Easington Colliery - Easington Colliery Fuel Removal

Last friday a customer contacted us soon after his Smart died on a road in Easington Colliery. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel car and was only able to drive as far as the street before needing to halt. It was really early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives close by, was with him in about a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Easington Colliery

Just a few of the more common troubles we have heard from the employees in Easington Colliery:

Now I am not ever excessively interested in doing work weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from home filled with a lovely dinner cooked by the better half, and I was off to deal with a gentleman who filled the wrong fuel in his Citroen. He was only in Easington Colliery hence I arrived there quickly. As I drove up at the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my mind on something else and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some problems through starting it?" I revealed there shouldn't be problems and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and then yet another satisfied motorist could continue on his journey without the need for bother. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make earning a living on weekends in County Durham that little bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel in Car Easington Colliery - Easington Colliery Fuel Rescue

A woman from Easington Colliery with a full car of kids in her diesel Audi had put £30 of petrol at the Tesco station. She contacted us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything would be fine and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

Fuel Removal Easington Colliery - Easington Colliery Petrol in Diesel

A person phoned us from Easington Colliery saying he had unfortunately pumped unleaded in to his diesel Nissan. "What a pain! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the work professionally completed.
