It was close to five pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were sitting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Woodcote and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Croydon done well in my books!

Services We Provide:

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases rather quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Croydon for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Woodcote (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
