This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously never start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
