Our Areas of Experience :

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Lanchester (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will deal with the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Lanchester - Lanchester Wrong Fuel

Last friday a customer phoned us when his SEAT ground to a halt along a street in Lanchester. He had mistakenly put petrol in his diesel car and drove to the street before having to stop. It was in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, got to him in less than ten minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
