Unleaded in diesel in Netherne on-the-Hill need not be a massive obstacle. We're just a phone call away.

It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were resting commenting on the recent footy results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Netherne on-the-Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Croydon done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Croydon we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Croydon to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Netherne on-the-Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Netherne on-the-Hill - Netherne on-the-Hill Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to help a new family who were away in Netherne on-the-Hill. They stopped after putting petrol in their Porsche, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal chastising her man for being so confused. "How could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs constantly in Croydon and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!
