Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
