AdBlue In Diesel

In Croydon we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Croydon to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of fuel in Whyteleafe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the standard troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
