It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Leasingthorne and filled petrol in a diesel MG lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And certainly never start up the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in County Durham to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced 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 some drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Leasingthorne (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home.
