It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Thinford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. One more job in County Durham done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely never start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in County Durham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Thinford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will deal with the most common troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Thinford - Thinford Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman had stopped off a street in Thinford. His BMW car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got absolutely no rest the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
