Our Areas of Experience :

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Bishop Middleham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
