AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Fulthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the typical issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Fulthorpe - Fulthorpe Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Fulthorpe. They broken down after filling petrol into their Skoda, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this happens regularly in County Durham and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he still got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I made the same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
