It was around five pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated commenting on the recent football results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Mickleton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car in error. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Mickleton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard troubles that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Mickleton - Mickleton Fuel Removal

I had a terrific day golfing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set out to assist a young family holidaying in Mickleton. They had stopped after adding petrol into their Citroen, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the woman berating her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on all the time in County Durham and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
