It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were sitting talking about the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the 6th job to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Addington and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find her without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A job in Croydon done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution composed of a blend of deionized water and urea.Adblue tends to be devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Croydon to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Addington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Addington - Addington Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a fantastic day hiking during my off day and felt satisfied the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple holidaying in Addington. They had stopped after adding petrol in their Vauxhall, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for being so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem goes on frequently in Croydon and that it's nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
