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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hallgarth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hallgarth - Hallgarth Fuel Removal

I'd had a great day golfing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Hallgarth. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Renault, and they were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady berating her man for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in County Durham and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed so long and thought about what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
