Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Tyne and Wear we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly do not turn over the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Gateshead (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the usual problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
