Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Croydon we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Croydon for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Woodcote - Woodcote Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a perfect day fishing during my afternoon off and felt satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to assist a new couple holidaying in Woodcote. They pulled over after putting diesel into their Fiat, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this takes place regularly in Croydon and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted goodbye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
