Our Areas of Specialties:
Here are the top services we give to our clients.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Croydon we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.
Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel.
