Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Upper Town - Upper Town Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented the next morning as I headed out to aid a new couple vacationing in Upper Town. They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their MG, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed as I listened to the girl berating her hubby for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass regularly in County Durham and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an earful. Poor boy. Anyways, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!
