It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Barnard Castle and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Durham done well in my books!

Our Services:

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Durham we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Barnard Castle (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will deal with the typical troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Barnard Castle - Barnard Castle Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a new couple vacationing in Barnard Castle. They stopped after inserting diesel into their Volvo, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place continuously in Durham and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
