Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Croydon we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Croydon for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Mitcham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of any of the normal issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
