These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run out of fuel in Egglescliffe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will fix the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
