Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.
AdBlue In Diesel
Throughout County Durham we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.
Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously do not crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.
Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Assistance
Out of fuel in Durham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to handle any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

A man rang us from his place on a close in Durham. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Hyundai) is not running and is creating awful noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
