Services We Give:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in East Briscoe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the typical issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
