Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Foxton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Foxton - Foxton Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down just off a street in Foxton. His Renault engine had ceased operating and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
