This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Tyne and Wear we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly don't start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat 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 you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Tyne and Wear for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
