AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Pittington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They will deal with any of the standard problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Pittington - Pittington Fuel Drain

A man had stopped near a road in Pittington. His Volvo motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was the problem till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
