Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Croydon we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Croydon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Whyteleafe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of the standard issues that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
