Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
