It was before seven pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there going over the recent sports, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Cheam and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi lease car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance from us, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Croydon well done in my mind!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Croydon we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Croydon to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

We can help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

A customer had stopped off a street in Cheam. His Land Rover motor had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten absolutely no rest the day before and that must have been the reason.
