Our Areas of Experience :

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Croydon we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Croydon to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thornton Heath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of the usual issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
