We got to him within 15 minutes because our drainer was in nearby Barnard Castle and had just done his previous job.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Durham we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Durham to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Barnard Castle (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Durham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also deal with any of the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Barnard Castle - Barnard Castle Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a great afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a new couple holidaying in Barnard Castle. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Porsche, and the car was close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this goes on all the time in Durham and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
