Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Durham we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations very simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Fuel Removal Harrowgate Hill - Harrowgate Hill Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a terrific evening fishing on my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were on vacation in Harrowgate Hill. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Ford, and were about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady berating her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on on daily basis in County Durham and that it's actually nothing to stress about, however he all the same got an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
