It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting going over the recent footy, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Cheam and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car in error. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. A job in Croydon well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Croydon we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course don't crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Croydon for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Cheam (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cheam - Cheam Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down just off a road in Cheam. His Kia engine had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was wrong till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the night before and that could have been precisely why.
