Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In County Durham we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
