It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated talking over the footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Coulsdon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Croydon we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you end up in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Croydon to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Coulsdon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will handle any of the most common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
