Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Durham we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Durham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.
