Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Old Eldon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the standard troubles which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
