AdBlue In Diesel

All around Croydon we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Croydon to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Norwood New Town (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They are also able to handle any of the common problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Norwood New Town - Norwood New Town Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific evening hiking during my day off and was feeling pleased the next working day as I headed out to help a young family away in Norwood New Town. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their BMW, and they were about half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this happens regularly in Croydon and that it's really absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!
