Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Thorpe Thewles (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the normal troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thorpe Thewles - Thorpe Thewles Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had broken down near a street in Thorpe Thewles. His Skoda engine had stopped running and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
