It was around ten pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing discussing the recent rugby, ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Selhurst and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Croydon done well in my books!

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and we were off to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel Land Rover in Selhurst. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only purchased it a week ago when my old car, which I had had for over 30 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Croydon lady!

AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Croydon we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.
So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If you get in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very expediently.
Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Croydon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Selhurst
A number of the routine things we see from our employees in Selhurst:
We had a phone call about a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Suzuki in Selhurst. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "I couldn't believe how speedy you were in sending a fuel drainer out to aid me after I erroneously unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you". It goes without saying that we appeared punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the customer was scowling, but was pleased when we finished.
Fuel Rescue Selhurst - Selhurst Wrong Fuel Assist
This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become quite quiet so far, and John and I were sitting around looking at some old newspapers. It was an uncommon calm moment in Croydon. It was in fact that calm that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person told me: "I've just finished my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in a diesel Lexus". We told him to let us know just where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Selhurst less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the engine and he said many thanks for coming so quickly. While we were returning to base we noticed two young women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.
