It was just after six pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the recent tennis results, at the ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Spennymoor and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG hire car in error. The poor lady was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, since it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Durham well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Durham we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Durham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Spennymoor (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to handle the typical issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A man called us from Spennymoor saying he mistakenly pumped petrol in his diesel Suzuki. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took our specialist roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He totally purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the work properly done.
