Vehicle Misfuel Addington - Addington Wrong Fuel in Car

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to help an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda in Addington. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and broken down in a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only bought it several days ago right after my old car, which I used for about thirty years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Croydon woman!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Croydon we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Croydon to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

We recently got a phone call from a driver who had put the wrong fuel in his Fiat in Addington. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the dilemma until I conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it running . I was amazed by both your speed and your charges". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and purged the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

Wrong Fuel Assist Addington - Addington Wrong Fuel

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 2am and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and Mark and I were relaxing reading a number of old articles. This was a rare quiet hour in Croydon. Actually it was that relaxing that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I completed my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel Volkswagen in error". I told him to tell us exactly where he was and we headed out, ending up in Addington no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so rapidly. While we were heading back home we found two young women at the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a street in Addington. He said, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting and is making very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
