AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Escomb (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
