Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously never crank the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Harwood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your automobile. They can also deal with any of the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel.
