Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Croxdale (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
