Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Sheraton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
