Our Areas of Expertise:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Durham we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not knowing how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And of course take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

They will be able to take care of the standard issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
