It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the footy results, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in White-le-Head and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We're able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.

Fuel Rescue White-le-Head - White-le-Head Vehicle Misfuel

A guy had conked out off a street in White-le-Head. His Hyundai car had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
