Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
