It was around ten pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there going over the recent sports results, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Hooley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Croydon well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Croydon we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Croydon to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hooley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also fix the typical problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
