AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Croydon we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Croydon to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Selsdon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Selsdon - Selsdon Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a wonderful day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to aid a new family who were on holiday in Selsdon. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Dacia, and the car was around half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem takes place all the time in Croydon and that it is nothing to worry about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally never live it down!
