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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over County Durham we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly don't crank the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases very simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel.
