Services We Offer:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help 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 draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Sherburn Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will take care of any of the most common problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
