It was after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the seventh job that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Shirley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Croydon done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel
What you can do in case you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made of a mix of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.
In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And of course don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.
You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Rescue Shirley - Shirley Vehicle Misfuel
A motorist working in Shirley contacted us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Vauxhall and, like many prior to her, thought that she would be able to just fill the car with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was coughing and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted inside an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you repaired my vehicle."
