Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
