It was after 7 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in West Cornforth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in County Durham done well in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.
