Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ramshaw (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
