It was around five pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Stanley and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my mind!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely don't start the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in County Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Stanley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill the car. They are also able to handle the common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
