AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Durham we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ferryhill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They can also take care of the normal issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Ferryhill - Ferryhill Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a wonderful day golfing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Ferryhill. They conked out after putting petrol in their Jaguar, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling off her husband for being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on continuously in Durham and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, however he yet still had an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Ferryhill

Very common wrong fuel drain examples in Ferryhill:

Now I'm not actually too keen on doing work on weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd just left home following a fantastic dinner made for us by the missus, and I was off to sort out a gentleman who put the wrong petrol in his Vauxhall. He was situated in Ferryhill thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other things and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted any damage by starting it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be any problems and also that I'd drain the wrong fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so one more satisfied motorist could continue on their trip without the need for fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Durham a tiny bit better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Drain Ferryhill - Ferryhill Wrong Fuel Drain

A young lady from Ferryhill with her kids in her diesel Peugeot had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the car should be alright and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
