Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Durham we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hartlepool (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Durham Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix any of the normal troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
