Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually 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 parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in White-le-Head (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the most common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car White-le-Head - White-le-Head Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a young family away in White-le-Head. They had broken down after adding diesel into their Lexus, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs frequently in County Durham and that it's nothing to stress about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
