These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Croydon we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Croydon for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Selsdon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the most common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Selsdon - Selsdon Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a great afternoon fishing during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Selsdon. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Mercedes, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I listened to the gal berating her partner for being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this takes place constantly in Croydon and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
