It was before five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting going over the sports results, prepared for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Coulsdon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly.

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Croydon we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Croydon to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.
