AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in South Hetton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist South Hetton - South Hetton Fuel Removal

A customer had conked out just near a street in South Hetton. His Mazda motor had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was awry until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
