AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Croydon we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Croydon for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in South Croydon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

They are also able to fix the most common issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
