Petrol in your diesel automobile in Russell Hill? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Call us and find out how we can help to get you up and running once more.

It was around seven pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were resting there discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the seventh call that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Russell Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG lease car. The poor thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Croydon well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Croydon we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Croydon to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Russell Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the 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 (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle the typical problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Russell Hill - Russell Hill Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a great evening hiking on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set out to aid a new family holidaying in Russell Hill. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Suzuki, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I heard to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation occurs on daily basis in Croydon and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. Poor boy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
