It was after seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the sports results, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Durham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was only a few miles from us, we could get to her fairly quickly.

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of urea and ionized water (67.5%).It is definitely harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Durham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They can also deal with the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
