It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis results, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in South Moor and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar rental car in error. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in County Durham well done in my opinion!

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.
AdBlue Contamination
In County Durham we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.
Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
Call us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather easily.
You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

A woman driving in South Moor contacted us as soon as she managed to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel SEAT and, like many before her, thought that she could simply fill her tank with diesel and it'd be okay. The car was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you fixed my vehicle."
