AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thornley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the 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 the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thornley - Thornley Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had conked out just off a road in Thornley. His Toyota engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been why.
