Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Aykley Heads (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also fix any of the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
