Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northumberland we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Northumberland to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hepscott, Northumberland

Wrong Fuel Hepscott - Hepscott Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I set off to aid a new family who were vacationing in Hepscott. They pulled over after filling diesel in their Vauxhall, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this takes place continuously in Northumberland and that it is nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he all the same had his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I waved good bye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would never live it down!
