Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in County Durham to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Drain Barningham - Barningham Petrol in Diesel

A man had stopped near a street in Barningham. His Mazda engine had ceased working and he'd no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that could have been why.
