It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the recent football results, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Hutton Magna and put petrol in her diesel Porsche hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham done well in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hutton Magna (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hutton Magna - Hutton Magna Fuel Rescue

Last week a customer phoned us soon after his Dacia stopped in the middle of a road in Hutton Magna. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and got as far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, was with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
