AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have 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 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 reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Gilesgate (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gilesgate - Gilesgate Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I was en route to help a young family on holiday in Gilesgate. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their BMW, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this takes place all the time in County Durham and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, however he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
