Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lanchester - Lanchester Fuel Removal

I appreciated a terrific evening golfing during my off day and was feeling pleased the following working day as I headed out to assist a new family holidaying in Lanchester. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their Mercedes, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed as I heard to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass quite frequently in County Durham and that it's truly nothing at all to fret about, but he all the same had an earful by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
