This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Dalton-le-Dale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to fix the usual problems that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Dalton-le-Dale - Dalton-le-Dale Wrong Fuel

A guy had conked out just off a street in Dalton-le-Dale. His MINI motor had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten no sleep the night before and that must have been why.
