It was after 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in New Addington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Croydon well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
In Croydon we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations fairly expediently.
Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Croydon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Fuel Rescue New Addington - New Addington Wrong Fuel in Car
I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling contented the following morning as I set off to help a new couple who were away in New Addington. They stopped after filling petrol in their MG, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for being so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this goes on continuously in Croydon and that it's nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car New Addington - New Addington Vehicle Misfuel
This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was around. It was fairly dead until now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking through some old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Croydon. It was so quiet that the instant the phone finally rang it made me start! The customer stated: "I've only just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in a diesel Citroen". I asked him to inform us exactly where the car was located and we hit the road, ending up in New Addington under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. As we were returning to the depot we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to change it, much to their delight.
Petrol in Diesel New Addington - New Addington Wrong Fuel Doctor
A gentleman phoned us from his home on a road in New Addington. He pronounced, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting up and is making awful sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car however believed he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
