Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in County Durham to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Upper Town (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Upper Town - Upper Town Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from his place on a street in Upper Town. He said, "My car (a Mercedes) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
