It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated talking over the football rankings, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Tow Law and filled petrol in her diesel Honda rental. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Another job in County Durham done well in my books!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Tow Law (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also deal with the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Tow Law - Tow Law Wrong Fuel Assist

A man had stopped just near a street in Tow Law. His Citroen motor had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that must have been why.
