Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of fuel in Cornforth (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
