It was just after five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking over the rugby, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Selsdon and put petrol in her diesel Toyota rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. A job in Croydon done well in my books!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Croydon we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Croydon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Selsdon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Selsdon - Selsdon Fuel Rescue

A gentleman phoned us from his house on a road in Selsdon. He explained, "My vehicle (a Mitsubishi) is not starting up and is producing dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however imagined he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel.
