It was about ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf, prepared for the next call to come in. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Hartlepool and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen.

Our Areas of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? It is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Hartlepool - Hartlepool Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt contented the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were away in Hartlepool. They'd broken down after adding diesel in their Jaguar, and were around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on regularly in Durham and that it is nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
