These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Croydon we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Croydon for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in South Norwood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your vehicle. They can also fix the usual issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in South Norwood

Stories from our South Norwood staff:

I am not overly enthusiastic about working weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left the family filled with a wonderful dinner prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his Nissan. He was situated in South Norwood hence I arrived on scene soon. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any kind of damage through starting it?" I determined that there probably should not be harm and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and thus one more pleased motorist could continue their journey without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Croydon that little easier in my opinion!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was around sunrise and noone was around. It had become rather uneventful so far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking through a couple of old magazines. It was a rare tranquil moment in Croydon. Actually it was that relaxing that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The customer said: "I have just completed my night shift and stupidly put petrol in a Citroen by mistake". We got him to let us know exactly where he was and we left, reaching him in South Norwood no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. As we were returning to base we found two women on the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.
