Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly don't switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in County Durham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Woodland (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the normal problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Woodland - Woodland Wrong Fuel

The other day a gentleman called us right after his Citroen cut out on a street in Woodland. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel motor and was only able to get as far as the street before needing to halt. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives close by, got to him in approximately fifteen minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 3 a.m., I really appreciate it."
