Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course never start up the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
