Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Croydon we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Croydon to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We can come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Mitcham - Mitcham Petrol in Diesel

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Saturday and we were on the way to help an old lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford in Mitcham. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only acquired it several days back when my old one, which I used for more than 30 years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Croydon lady!

Wrong Fuel Drain Mitcham - Mitcham Fuel Rescue

A customer from Mitcham with a full car of children in her diesel Peugeot had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op service station. She contacted us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be okay and that she would be back in action quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children on board."
