AdBlue In your Fuel

In Croydon we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Croydon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

We will help to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Cheam - Cheam Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer called us from his house on a road in Cheam. He explained, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting and is making very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be certain to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
