Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northumberland we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Northumberland to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.
