Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Fuel Removal Shadforth - Shadforth Vehicle Misfuel

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a young couple vacationing in Shadforth. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their MINI, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens on a regular basis in County Durham and that it's really nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
