These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases rather quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Todhills - Todhills Vehicle Misfuel

A guy had conked out near a road in Todhills. His SEAT motor had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
