AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s made of a blend of deionized water and urea.Adblue is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Croydon to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Sanderstead (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also deal with any of the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never wrong fuelled previously and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids on board."
